US health officials conducted tests for passengers and crew members aboard a cruise ship off the coast of San Francisco.
Health officials in the United States (US) conducted tests aboard a cruise ship off the coast of San Francisco to determine if any of its passengers and crew have contracted the novel coronavirus.
This, as some of its nearly 3,500 passengers and crew, who have shown flu-like symptoms, were being tested after a 71-year-old man, who had been on board during a previous voyage, died from the 2019 novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
According to health officials, there were 2,383 passengers and 1,100 crew members on board a cruise ship, which cut short its voyage back from Hawaii after some passengers and crew members developed flu-like symptoms.
In a statement to AFP News, the Princess Cruises company stated that among the passengers were 62 who remained on board from their earlier Mexico voyage and were already being restricted to their cabins.
