KUALA LUMPUR/AMSTERDAM: A number of passengers, including two Dutch citizens, were denied boarding for an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight departing from Kuala Lumpur, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said on Sunday (Feb 15).
The travellers had been among the more than 2,200 passengers and crew on the Holland America Line’s Westerdam cruise ship, which was turned away by five ports before disembarking in Cambodia.The tourists who were kept from boarding KLM flight 810 are still in Malaysia, along with another group of Dutch citizens suspected to have had contact with the infected American woman.
It said that all 2,257 passengers and crew aboard the Westerdam had been temperature-tested on Feb. 10 and that no one had an elevated temperature, disembarking passengers completed a written health questionnaire, and the passports of everyone aboard were reviewed to ensure they hadn’t travelled through mainland China in the previous 14 days.
"These passengers have been on the ship for almost 14 days -- they’re at the end of the two-week incubation period,” said Li, speaking Friday before news of the Malaysian infected case broke."The health declarations are a good way to screen.”
