However, when it docked at Tromsoe port on July 31, 4 sailors tested positive for nCoV.

The outbreak of the outbreak on MS Roald Amundsen has raised many concerns about the safety of yachts during a pandemic.

The cause of the outbreak on the Roald Amundsen yacht has not been determined, but NTB news agency estimates that all 69 Norwegian cities could be affected.

This is not the first time Covid-19 has broken out on a yacht.
