Police wearing protective gear boarded a cruise ship to seize evidence and question crew members of the vessel linked to hundreds of coronavirus infections and 15 deaths across Australia, AP reported.

New South Wales police said the ship is expected to remain at Port Kembla south of Sydney for 10 days with its 1,040 crew members undergoing medical assessments.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said officers seized a black box very similar to that of international planes and other evidence. He said the captain had been extremely helpful.
