One of the passengers on a cruise ship that were allowed to disembark in Cambodia has tested positive for the new coronavirus.
According to the Malaysian Health Ministry, an 83-year-old American woman from the Westerdam cruise ship was confirmed to have been infected with the virus on Saturday after she arrived on a flight to Kuala Lumpur on Friday.
Her husband tested negative, but was still under observation.
Cambodia said earlier that all the 1,455 passengers had tested negative for the virus.
The Westerdam docked in the port of Sihanoukville, Cambodia on Thursday after being shunned by several countries on fears that passengers could be carrying the virus.
