CORONAVIRUS | At least 35 people with flu-like symptoms aboard the vessel.
| Coronavirus test kits were delivered at sea on Thursday to an ocean liner barred from returning to port in San Francisco after at least 35 people developed flu-like symptoms aboard the vessel, which has been linked to two other confirmed cases of Covid-19., which California Governor Gavin Newsom has said would be kept offshore until passengers and crew who have fallen ill can be tested for possible coronavirus infection.
But Newsom acted to keep the vessel from port after learning some people on board - 35 according to Carroll - had symptoms consistent with Covid-19, a respiratory illness that has infected more than 95,000 people worldwide, most of them in China, where the virus originated. The Princess cruise line, a unit of Carnival Corp, the world's largest cruise operator, said fewer than 100 passengers and crew from the Hawaii voyage have been identified for testing, including those who were ill.
