🪂 Tristan da Cunha: British paratroopers (16 Air Assault Brigade) airdropped for suspected case — pop. 221, no airstrip · RAF A400M from Brize Norton · Source: Reuters / UK MoD
South Atlantic · British Overseas Territory · Pop. ~30 (research staff only)
Passengers and crew went ashore for wildlife excursions — penguin colonies, elephant seals, historic Grytviken whaling station
No permanent civilian population — contact limited to fellow passengers and expedition guides
One of the first stops after departing Ushuaia. Passengers mingled on shore in small groups. No cases have been linked specifically to this stop, but it preceded the earliest known symptom onset dates.
South Atlantic · British Overseas Territory · Pop. ~251 · Most remote inhabited island on Earth
Also visited: Inaccessible Island and Nightingale Island (uninhabited nature reserves)
6 island residents embarked the ship here · 1 crew member disembarked · Direct contact with local population
Island has no airstrip — the only access is by ship. Residents who boarded would have had close contact with the full passenger manifest over several days.
A British man on Tristan da Cunha later developed symptoms — British paratroopers (16 Air Assault Brigade) were airdropped from a RAF A400M (Brize Norton → Ascension → Tristan) to assist. See case PTRDC01.
South Atlantic · British Overseas Territory · Uninhabited except for a small South African weather station (~6 staff)
Passengers went ashore for wildlife viewing — seabirds, endemic species. Gough Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Minimal local contact — weather station staff may have had brief interaction with passengers at the shoreline
No cases have been linked to this stop. Low-risk given very small isolated population present.
South Atlantic · British Overseas Territory · Pop. ~4,500 · Has an airport (opened 2016)
32 guests disembarked here — including Dutch index couple (P002 / PEDB43) · 1 crew member embarked
Passengers who disembarked spent time ashore in Jamestown and surrounding areas — shops, restaurants, tourist sites — before flying or sailing onward
Dutch index couple left the ship here and traveled onward — they had been symptomatic or pre-symptomatic during their time aboard
Most epidemiologically significant shore stop. 32 passengers dispersed from here — some flying to the UK and Europe, potentially carrying the virus before the outbreak was identified. Local St. Helena health authorities were subsequently alerted.
South Atlantic · British Overseas Territory · Pop. ~800 (military and contractor staff) · RAF Ascension Island base
2 guests medevaced off the ship here — symptomatic British national (P003) and American partner (PUSPAR01)
Not a standard shore stop — used as a medical evacuation point as the ship's situation became more urgent
RAF base on the island provided logistics for the medevac · Island population is largely military and contractors
First formal medevac of the voyage — 2 passengers transferred here on Apr 27 as symptoms escalated. After this point the ship had 147 remaining aboard.
