The tanker had arrived at the port of Matanzas from Mexico. Since June 2, 2020, the case of the Covid-19 suspects was known on the island, so precautions were taken to help them upon their arrival in the bay. On June 4 at 11 a.m. the pilot approached the ship at the entrance to the bay and boarded with a sanitary suit and three pairs of gloves, staying almost four hours like this. Once on deck, the captain of the boat, also sick with Covid-19, provided him with a portable communication kit to direct the tugs. After disembarking, the crew were transferred to the Mario Muñoz Monroy hospital isolation center, attended by the health authorities, including colleagues from the Pedro Kourí Institute of Tropical Medicine (IPK), for testings.
