| The Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA) has barred the Norwegian cruise ship Norwegian Dawn from docking at its ports, fearing health risks after some passengers onboard the ship developed a stomach illness. | |
| "The decision not to allow the cruise ship access to the quay was taken in order to avoid any health risks," the ports authority said in a statement on Sunday. | |
| "The health and safety of passengers as well as that of the country as a whole are of the utmost importance to the authorities." | |
| The passengers developed mild symptoms of a stomach illness during a voyage to South Africa, a representative of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, the company that operates the ship, was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. | |
| Mauritian health authorities have taken samples from 15 quarantined passengers and expect the test results in 48 hours. Until then, boarding and disembarking the ship is prohibited. | |
| The ship has 2,184 passengers and 1,026 crew members on board, MPA said. | |
| About 2,000 passengers were to disembark the ship in Mauritius's capital, Port Louis, and 2,279 new passengers were to board it. | |
