Two years on from Tasmania's COVID crisis in the north-west of the state, the town of Burnie has welcomed a cruise ship with infected passengers, with locals happy for the extra trade and tourists expressing confidence in the health measures being taken.
The Coral Princess — from the same cruise fleet as the notorious Ruby Princess — is currently in Burnie on a 28-day voyage around Australia which began in Sydney on October 11 and ends on November 8 in Sydney.
