Disney Fantasy Docking in Cozumel With Repatriated Mexican Passengers
According to a recent piece in the Riviera Maya News, the Disney Fantasy is scheduled to dock at the Punta Langosta pier in Cozumel carrying passengers who will be flown back to their places of origin.
Cozumel’s Mayor Pedro Joaquin Delbouis said that there are 68 passengers, 15 of whom are from the Quintana Roo will be repatriated in the face of the global pandemic.
In his statement, the Mayor said that neither the ship or the passengers aboard pose a rise to residents in Cozumel. The passengers are free of the coronavirus and they will land without public interaction.
The Mayor went on to say, “I want to make it clear that the Disney Fantasy cruise ship will not arrive with tourists. It is about Mexican workers, all of them healthy, who work for the Disney Cruise Line and who, at the moment, were left without their source of employment due to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
According to the report, the docking will be supervised by health personnel who will check the medical logs of each passenger before they disembark. These medical details will also be passed on to the Municipal Health Committee to guarantee transparency.
In addition, it should be noted that agents of the National Institute of Migration will be on hand to ensure document verification protocols.
Once the passengers have disembarked, they will hop on a ferry boat bound for Playa del Carmen. For there they will be flown to their cities of origin. “The acceptance was made in coordination with the federal and state governments because these people are Mexican and these moments are of great solidarity and support among all Mexicans,” the Mayor stated.
Cozumel is currently seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases there being any NEW positive cases for the last 12 days.
