Another Steam Packet crew member tests positive for Covid-19

Another Steam Packet crew member has tested positive for Covid-19.

The individual is an Island-based member of staff but doesn't hold a passenger-facing role and had the test whilst off-duty and has gone into immediate isolation.

A handful of colleagues who the individual was in contact with are also self-isolating.

It comes after another crew member, who is UK-based and also has a non-passenger facing role, also tested positive for the virus last week.

Contact tracing is now underway and the precautions and procedures taken by the company last week will take place once again.

The Steam Packet Company adds the Ben-my-Chree is being deep cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis.
