According to Fox News
The Sun Princess, a ship operated by Princess Cruises, was met by violent protests upon docking at the island of Réunion on Sunday. The protesters were reportedly demanding health checks for passengers wishing to leave the port to visit the island, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.
The Sun Princess had previously been turned away from a scheduled port in Madagascar, despite no reports of COVID-19 among passengers. Authorities in Madagascar were reportedly concerned that a full 14 days had not passed between the ship’s previous stop in Thailand, which has recorded dozens of positive COVID-19 cases and one death.
Protesters in Réunion, a French territory located just east of Madagascar, said they too were concerned.
