On June 13th, Mr Ragodon posted on Facebook: “Goodbye fellow Filipino crew…transffered to Disney Dream to wait for their chartered flight going home on June?? Me…i will stay on board until ???”
Meanwhile, Disney Wonder has emerged as one of the largest COVID-19 outbreaks on a cruise ship. No less than 255 people are suspected to be COVID positive. At least 3 passengers have passed away till date due to COVID-19.
The fact, however, remains unclear whether Mr Ragodon was tested for Coronavirus or not. Disney reportedly tested all the crew members onboard the cruise in early May where 203 crew tested positive for the virus out of 737.
