Victoria - The Seychelles has reported five new coronavirus
cases, ending a two-month period in which the holiday paradise had
claimed to have successfully contained the disease.
Five crew members of a Spanish fishing fleet which entered the
Seychelles on Tuesday have tested positive and been put in isolation,
Health Commissioner Jude Gedeon said on Thursday.
None of the patients were currently showing symptoms, according to
Gedeon.
On Wednesday evening, Gedeon had placed the number of new infections
at three.
The Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands, which earlier this year
reported 11 coronavirus cases, had managed to contain the virus since
April 5.
