The first cruise ship to sail to Greece since the coronavirus lockdown has docked at the port of Piraeus after a dozen crew members were reported positive for the virus.

The Maltese-flagged Mein Schiff 6, operated by German travel giant TUI, is carrying 922 passengers and 666 crew.

Nobody will be allowed to disembark as testers from Greece's public health agency embarked for inspection.
