Result - Independent inquiry Ruby Princess

The independent inquiry into the Ruby Princess didn't give out even one name
of anyone to blame - what a whitewash and a waste of money.
I wanted to see gallows set up outside the commission and those
responsible swinging already by today.

The independent inquiry into the Ruby Princess slammed NSW Health's "do nothing" decision to allow passengers to disembark without waiting six hours for the results of coronavirus tests.

Commissioner Bret Walker SC said waiting for COVID-19 test results was not "rocket science", but simply an "obvious precaution".

So what should have happened when the cruise liner docked at Sydney's Overseas Passenger Terminal with 120 suspect cases of COVID-19 on board?

The inquiry set out in detail the steps that could have prevented up to 663 COVID-19 cases across Australia.

The swabs should have been tested

In late February, NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant asked the cruise industry to collect COVID-19 swabs when people on board were tested for the flu.

When the Ruby Princess set sail from Sydney on March 8, there were 25 swabs on board and when it docked on March 19, 13 coronavirus swabs had been taken.

But around 2,600 passengers were allowed to disembark as the samples were taken to a lab.

The report said the swabs, which were taken off the ship at 3:00am, should have been immediately tested.

In fact, the findings said, a team from NSW Health should have boarded the ship and taken their own COVID-19 swabs from any person showing any symptoms of an acute respiratory illness.

"These swabs should have been sent for urgent testing," the findings said.
