So there's a new strain coming out of Africa. Great. Could that be why Africa's infection rate be so low? |

Why Africa? It doesn't mention where it came from in the press release...... not that I can't see 😉 |

The ship came from Liberia. Did I read that wrong in the article? |

It is flying the Lyberian flag, so that is where it is registered. It may have come from somewhere else, or from its registered base. Coming from Liberia is most likely, but not certain. The article says: "via New Caledonia" and mentions crew from the Philipines who boarded in New Zealand, but does not specify the origin of its journey. Vessel-finder* lists it as having called in at Kimbe, Brisbane, Tauranga, Aukland, Noumea in New Caledonia and Brisbane again. Kimbe, September 25 Brisbane, October4 Tauranga, October 10 Auckland, October 11 Noumea, October 16 Brisbane again, October 19. There are no later entries. |

Think you might have to look at where the crew who boarded in NZ came from |
