Virus-infected Australian cruise ship arrives at Montevideo port

An Australian cruise ship stranded off the coast of Uruguay for two weeks with more than 100 people aboard infected with the new coronavirus arrived at the port of Montevideo on Friday.

Around 110 Australians and New Zealanders are due to be evacuated from the Greg Mortimer and taken along a "sanitary corridor" to Montevideo's international airport, where they will take a medically equipped charter flight to Melbourne in Australia.
