Australian workers have been forced to board a ship fresh out of China despite concerns its 26 crew had not been adequately isolated or tested for coronavirus.

Daily Mail Australia has been told the terminal's operator, DP World Australia, threatened to sack the terrified team if they refused to board the vessel.
