Paul-Gauguin

The 'Paul Gauguin' had to abort its first voyage after the corona crisis which had started on July 29, 2020, and had to turn around after passenger was tested positive for COVID-19 on board by the ship's doctor. The ship returned to Papeete on Aug 2 for further measures. At the time of the discovery, the ship was sailing between Bora Bora and Rangiroa. There were 48 passengers and 192 crew members on board. The 'Paul Gauguin' had made a stopover in Bora-Bora before the incident. All passengers were advised to remain in their cabins. All of them were to be tested now. Most of them are Polynesian residents.
