A cruise ship carrying 206 passengers ran aground off northwest Greenland on Wednesday. Several people on board have now tested positive for COVID-19, writes AP.

The announcement comes after a third failed attempt to free the cruise ship, after a research vessel tried to pull it free during high tide on Wednesday.

Previously, the Danish navy reported that the nearest ship is 2,200 kilometers away and that they expect to arrive on Friday to begin their rescue operation.
