A quarantined cruise ship reportedly owned by the Church of Scientology has a confirmed case of measles onboard, according to health authorities in St. Lucia.

After learning from reputable sources that someone on board might have measles, health officials from the Department of Health and Wellness, ordered the ship to stay in port to prevent the spread of the disease. Since then, no one on the ship has been allowed to disembark.

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Merlene Fredericks-James says the ship is free to leave our ports at anytime  but whilst in port ‘they will receive the support the need.’
