Another cruise ship is in limbo after a former passenger with COVID-19 died. The Grand Princess, now moored off the Californian coast, has identified fewer than 100 passengers from its nearly 3,700 to be tested for the virus.
At least 100 people aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship will be tested for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 after a former passenger died from the disease this week.

Eleven passengers and 10 crew members were showing symptoms of COVID-19, the governor said. He added that the number"may significantly understate" the presence of the coronavirus on the cruise ship. Officials believe the passenger, who was an elderly man, was exposed to the novel coronavirus during a trip from San Francisco to Mexico in the middle of February. Health officials are now tracking down thousands of people who were on the same trip and may have been exposed to the virus.
