The Cabo Star—the lone in­ter­is­land car­go ves­sel—is at this time un­der quar­an­tine at the Port of Spain Port af­ter it sailed from To­ba­go at 11 pm on Wednes­day.

One for­eign crew mem­ber is al­leged­ly suf­fer­ing from flu-like symp­toms.

Some pas­sen­gers on board the ves­sel told Guardian Me­dia when the ves­sel docked in Trinidad, this morn­ing (March 19), an am­bu­lance came on board and left with the for­eign crew mem­ber.

Ac­cord­ing to the pas­sen­ger, the cap­tain told pas­sen­gers they can­not leave the ves­sel, at the mo­ment, and will know their fate by 3 pm to­day.

"There is fear now as we don't know what will hap­pen if we will be quar­an­tined to­geth­er in Trinidad or al­lowed to re­turn to To­ba­go," the pas­sen­ger told Guardian Me­dia.

Con­firm­ing the in­ci­dent, Deputy Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer, Vil­ma Lewis-Cock­burn said a crew mem­ber was tak­en for test­ing by the Min­istry of Health via spe­cial am­bu­lance.

"As dic­tat­ed by ex­ist­ing pro­to­cols, all per­sons are to re­main on board un­til the re­sults are in," she said.

There is no word on how long the re­sults will take.
