French police officers face demonstrators in Le Port, as people protest passengers from the Sun Princess cruise ship on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion disembarking without having temperatures checked.SAINT-DENIS DE LA REUNION: Police used tear gas on protesting residents of France's Indian Ocean territory Reunion Island on Sunday who tried to block passengers of a cruise ship turned away from nearby Madagascar for fear there may be people infected with the coronavirus on board.
The ship, flying the British flag, was met by about 30 protesters who had gathered at the northwestern port to demand health checks of tourists to avoid the virus taking root on their island. By this time, some 300 other ship passengers had already left the port by bus or taxi on different island excursions."Of course we are not against the arrival of tourists, they are necessary for the development of our economy. We just want to be sure that there is no risk of the coronavirus propagating," protester Yannis Latchimy said.
