Some 127 passengers on the ferry boat “Blue Star Mykonos” – where a crew member has presented with symptoms of a possible coronavirus infection – were on Thursday allowed to disembark from the vessel at the port of Lemnos.

The passengers have been advised by local health authorities and the National Organisation for Public Health that they should remain confined at home until the results of the test on the crew member come out.
