Carnival Cruise ship Company suspends operations at Maimon Amber Cove terminal due to coronavirus
PUERTO PLATA.- The Carnival Cruise Line company announced that, due to the threat of the coronavirus, it has suspended operations for several weeks at the Amber Cove terminal in Maimon, Puerto Plata.
This provision was made by the cruise company long before the Dominican Port Authority (Apordom) decided to suspend the landings of cruise ships in the ports of the Dominican Republic due to the coronavirus.
The suspension of all docking and disembarkation operations for cruise ships in local ports was issued last Saturday “until further notice” due to the threat of the spread of the coronavirus since eleven cases have been confirmed in the country.
This is a part of the measures that governments worldwide are adapting “to safeguard collective health” in the face of the threat of spread and contagion of coronavirus, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).
