A crew member has died from Covid-19 on a reefer at Montevideo in Uruguay.

The unnamed seafarer had already passed away when the 237,150-cbf Libra (built 1991) docked on Saturday.

Two colleagues tested positive for coronavirus, while three others showed symptoms. They were all disembarked from the Lithuanian-flagged ship to be taken to a clinic, the country's navy said.

The port authority placed a cordon around the Libra.
