A luxury cruise ship has been turned away from several ports amid coronavirus fears.

The liner carrying more than 1,450 passengers has been told it cannot dock in Thailand.

The Westerdam had already been turned away from several ports, including in Japan, Taiwan, Guam and the Philippines, amid fears of the virus.

Holland America, which owns the ship, said it had “no reason to believe” anyone on board has the virus.

It had planned to dock in Bangkok on Thursday.

But on Tuesday the Thai government said permission had been “refused”.

It added that, while the ship would not be allowed to disembark, Thailand would “gladly help providing fuel, medicine, and food” to the vessel.
