The Zaandam, with 1,800 passengers, has been prevented from docking in several countries due to coronavirus fears. Four passengers have died on board a cruise ship carrying several people with flu-like symptoms that has been stranded off the Pacific coast of South America for several days, the liner company said on Friday. The Zaandam, with 1,800 passengers on board, is currently in Panama’s territorial waters, having been prevented from docking in several countries due to coronavirus fears. “Holland America Line can confirm that four older guests have passed away on Zaandam,” the Dutch-owned company said in a statement. The company said 53 of the 1,243 guests and 85 of the 586 crew on board the Zaandam “have reported to the ship’s medical center with influenza-like symptoms”.
