Ricans return today
on Rhapsody Cruise By the A.M. Costa Rica staff Fourteen
Costa Ricans who are part of the crew of the cruise
ship "Rhapsody" return to the country today under
strict sanitary measures.
The cruise ship arrived in Hernán Garrón Port in Limón Province at 6 a.m. following the guidelines ordered by the Ministry of Health. Social Security maintains a team of specialists from the Tony Facio Hospital in charge of taking vital signs, clinical evaluation and respiratory sampling of symptomatic patients for the diagnosis of covid-19. In addition, officers of the Professional Migration Police will be at the dock performing the corresponding immigration control where all travelers will be notified of the sanitary isolation orders for 14 days. Those who do not follow the isolation order will be fined $794. All the medical reception and processing will be carried out at the facilities of the Board of the Atlantic Port, known as JAPDEVA. According to Social Security, all the facilities to be used have gone through a special prior cleaning process, which will be repeated once the processing of the Costa Rican crew ends. This is the fourth cruise ship in Costa Rica that returns to the country during the pandemic. Last week the cruise ship 'Marina' arrived in Puerto Limón with a crew of 17 Costa Ricans. After spending the night inside the cruise ship, the Ticos landed in compliance with the sanitary measures ordered by the Ministry of Health. Also last week, the cruise ship ‘Caribbean Princess’ arrived with 42 Costa Ricans at the same port in Limón. In May, the cruise ship “Rhapsody” arrived for the repatriation of 97 Costa Ricans. They docked at 6 a.m. at Limón Port from Panama. In April, the Seven Seas Navigator, with three repatriated Costa Ricans arrived at the Port of Puntarenas. According to the Ministry of Foreign Relations, since the closure of borders due to the pandemic more than 2,500 Costa Ricans from 92 countries returned to the country. ---------------------------------- Have you heard about Ticos living in other countries that were not able to return to Costa Rica?
