Alexander Solodyannikov of the tanker &#8220;Asphalt Transporter&#8221; reportedly suffered &#8220;an attack of an unknown respiratory syndrome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It added that the ship&#8217;s doctor could not help him and due to the Covid-19 scare, &#8220;no country would allow him to enter to be admitted to a hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;(The) tanker was on the way to Australia and they asked a few countries to help, I don&#8217;t want to mention them, not too many actually,&#8221; Russian Embassy Press Attach\u00e9 Natalia Linovitskaya said.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian seafarer was picked up by a helicopter and was transported to a hospital in Metro Manila for treatment.

Things were not looking good for some time, but now Capt. Solodyannikov is safe,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks to the swift and decisive actions of the Philippine government, we managed to save a life,&#8221; the embassy said.<\/p>\n<p>At present, the ship is anchored near General Santos City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the swift and decisive actions of the Philippine Government we managed to save a life.
