Another Cruise ship is held off at sea in California

Cruise ship is held off at sea after California man dies from coronavirus less than 2 weeks after his trip
A cruise ship passenger died from the coronavirus less than two weeks after he returned home, marking California's first death as the disease sickens people in 15 states.
The death reported Wednesday was linked to the Grand Princess cruise ship, and was the first coronavirus fatality outside Washington state, where 10 people have died.
The cruise ship's being held off the California coast so federal health officials can screen the people aboard, some of whom were on an earlier cruise with the California victim.
The unidentified victim was 71 and had underlying health conditions, Placer County health officials said. He was likely exposed to the virus on the cruise from San Francisco to Mexico between February 11 to 21.
After the Grand Princess finished its Mexico trip last month, it went on another cruise to Hawaii and is on its way back. Some passengers on the current cruise were on the previous one.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency and said local health officials are working with their federal counterparts to trace people who'd had contact with the patient.
"This emergency proclamation will help the state further prepare our communities and our health care system in the event it spreads more broadly," he said.
The ship's carrying about 2,500 passengers on its current voyage. Eleven passengers and 10 crew members have developed symptoms, Newsom said.
In this photo taken last month, the Grand Princess cruise ship passes the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Princess Cruises said it's been notified by federal health officials that there's a "small cluster" of cases from the February voyage. There are 62 passengers on the ship who sailed that San Francisco-Mexico voyage and remained onboard for the current Hawaii one, it said.
To screen passengers who may have been exposed to the virus, the Coast Guard will deliver sampling kits to the ship Thursday via helicopter, and a medical team aboard will administer the tests. The samples will be sent by helicopter to a lab in Richmond, California, Princess Cruises said.
Mark Pace and his wife, Beth, are on a cruise to celebrate her birthday, and are among passengers awaiting aboard the Grand Princess. They'd sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii, where they spent four days on several islands.
The Tallahassee, Florida, couple told CNN on Wednesday night that they're aboard the ship but not confined to their rooms. Pace said the cruise ship had canceled its theater shows, and he was watching his wife play games in the casino.
"We are a little nervous about it. We knew it was a possibility. We came prepared with two weeks of extra medication and my laptop so that I could work if we were confined," he said.
Pace said they've noticed subtle changes on the cruise. For example they had to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer in order to get a plate and silverware for the buffet.
"And crew handled everything. We were not allowed to serve ourselves," he said.

Cuối năm rồi OX nói muốn qua thăm his bro ở San Jose mid Feb & đi 7 days Mexico cruise (Cabo, Puerto Vallarta etc) on Carnival newest ship Panaroma. Gà nói nếu đi thì 0 thể đi VN/Nhật tháng 4 hay tháng 5. Anh chọn đi CA nhưng khi vào book thì cruise sold out rồi . Đinh book tuần khác nhưng Gà nói đi tháng 2/3 biển Pacific còn lạnh đâu tắm được nên ảnh bằng lòng postponed. Tính rủ thêm SIL đi chung nhưng họ lại rủ đi Utah tháng 6 instead.
Chứ nếu mà book tháng 2 hay tháng 3 thì 0 biết sẽ làm sao nửa. Ai chứ Gà trống chắc kêu đi vì diếc 0 sợ súng mà. Gà nói ảnh thôi đừng uống rượu lễ nửa trong thời gian này mà ổng vẩn cải lại là mình phải có lòng tin. Gà nói có lòng tin 0 có nghỉa là đi ra đường nằm xuống đường thử thách coi có xe nào đụng mình 0. Và ảnh bịnh rồi thì sẽ lây cho cả gia đình cho nên 0 thể nào take risks như vậy cả!
Gà trống vẩn cải cho tới bến nên thôi Gà 0 nói nửa....cuối tuần rồi thấy ảnh rước lễ xong thì lẳng lặng đi xuống chứ 0 đi lên xin uống rượu lễ như bình thường nửa! Đàn ông là vậy đó ....let him wins the argument...and he will do what you ask afterward (if it's reasonable)!
