A cargo ship calling on the Port of Brunswick
brought more to the East River waterfront than
what was on the ship’s manifest, an official with
the Coastal Health District acknowledged.
It was determined that a sailor aboard the Mv
Star Isfjord cargo ship that arrived at Mayor’s
Point Terminal Feb. 24 had active pulmonary
Tuberculosis, a contagious form of the disease,
says Dr. Diane Weems, district health director of
the Coastal Health District. More than 20 sailors
were quarantined.
Tuberculosis – or TB – is a disease that usually affects the lungs and is caused by germs that
are spread from person to person through the air
when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes,
speaks or sings.
