"It implies that regions on the boat have been separated to confine the blending of individuals, which is a significant test on a 70-meter-long boat."

The two SOS Mediterranee and Sea-Watch demand they are following exacting social separating and isolate measures.

"We have a clinical group ready, with a specialist, two attendants, and a birthing specialist. The vast majority of them are as of now prepared really, they've been dealing with Covid-19 patients coastal before setting out," Frédéric Penard told Euronews.

"The test we had right off the bat was not to have COVID-19 locally available through the team. So we put the 33 individuals under isolate, to ensure the boat wasn't conveying Covid-19 when she set sail from Marseille.

"At that point the procedure locally available... we screen temperatures and ensure individuals separate one from another. Physical removing is confounded on a little boat... so we remunerate that by the utilization of PPE (individual defensive gear) and the ability to disengage any indicative cases."
