【美洲华联社2月15日讯】据官方媒体Bernama周六报道,马来西亚证实了首例涉及Westerdam游轮的冠状病毒病例,一名83岁的美国公民检测呈阳性。

据CNN的报道,几个亚洲国家拒绝让Westerdam停靠在他们的港口,而在周五被允许在柬埔寨下船。这艘游轮上共有1455名乘客和802名船员,荷兰-美国航线在上周表示,这艘游轮没有被隔离。

在顺利通过健康检查后,柬埔寨政府允许游轮上的所有乘客和船员返回各自国家。

Bernama的报道还说,这名美国公民的丈夫也是美国人,从柬埔寨到吉隆坡国际机场降落后就被发现有症状。他们被转介给Sungai Buloh医院进行检查,该医院的结论是,这名妇女呈阳性,而她85岁的丈夫呈阴性。

丈夫的症状仍在医院接受治疗和观察。

据伯纳马报道,目前马来西亚确诊病例总数已达22例。
