As it neared Gibraltar this morning, the cruise ship, Spirit of Discovery (868 passengers and 513 crew) reported that, on board, it had 89 cases of suspected Norovirus (Diarrhoea, vomiting and fever).
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS ARE NOT THOSE OF CORONAVIRUS.
However, given the current situation, the vessel has been asked to continue to its next port of call, Southampton, without berthing at Gibraltar.
