The Magnus field lies 99 miles north east of Shetland.

All affected and quarantined workers are thought to be travelling onshore by helicopter later today.

EnQuest refused to comment on specific cases or confirm the number of suspected cases on the Magnus platform.

A Drilling materials coordinator for EnQuest said: “As a responsible operator, the safety of our people at EnQuest is our first priority.

"We offshore workers are scared, and i`m not one to tell tales but I was told that one of the crew was smuggling toilet paper from the rig when they left"

“We have been working with a variety of stakeholders, including industry and medical organisations, to ensure our operational response and advice to our workforce is appropriate and commensurate with the prevailing expert advice and level of risk.

“We have implemented a number of actions offshore and onshore to keep our people safe and maintain safe operations.

“For any individuals that present with symptoms offshore, we have isolation and treatment plans in place and, along with other operators in the North Sea, have access to a dedicated helicopter service used only to transport those with suspected coronavirus back onshore.”

Last week, EnQuest struck a deal with fellow operators Total, Shell, CNR, Taqa, Spirit Energy and Equinor to fund a new ‘Corona copter’ to bring confirmed and suspected Covid-19 sufferers back to shore.

CHC Helicopter will began providing the new, dedicated service last week.

Yesterday, Taqa confirmed that 13 cases of suspected Covid-19 had been identified on its North Cormorant and Cormorant Alpha platforms in the North Sea.

Eight of those workers have returned onshore.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
