After the Diamond Princess parked off at Tokyo and had over 700 positive cases, another cruise has come under the line of fire.
Twenty-one people aboard a cruise ship that was barred from docking in San Francisco have tested positive for coronavirus, U.S. officials said on Friday, as the fast-spreading respiratory disease was reported in half a dozen new US states. Vice President Mike Pence, who is running the U.S. response to the outbreak, said at a news conference that 19 crew members and two passengers out of 46 people tested so far on the Grand Princess ocean liner had the virus. The vessel, with about 3,400 passengers and crew, would be taken to a non-commercial port where everyone on board would be tested, he said.
