皇家加勒比游轮公司旗下的“海洋量子号”游轮,在前日(7日)启航,进行“无目的地”航行,但因一名83岁乘客,在冠病检测时呈阳性,结果游轮在今日需返航狮城。

乘客上船前都需要检测,上述老翁此前的检测结果为阴性。据新加坡旅游局指出,他因腹泻到船上的医疗中心求医,但却检测到阳性反应。所有曾接触患者的船员和乘客都要隔离。

不过,贸工部长陈振声,却认为游轮会出现冠病病例“并非预料之外”,要有完善的措施更为重要,如此在出现情况时能够迅速反应。

他称,政府当初允许游轮试行复航,就设想可能会出现这种情况。“所以为何要有措施,以确保类似情况发生,能够迅速做追踪、隔离必要的病例,以及让其余活动能继续进行。”

他称,当我国从疫情恢复、经济活动复苏,便采取风险管理的策略(risk management strategy),而不是消除风险的策略,不因为达到零风险而什么都不做,这也不符合我国的整体战略。
