[cementhands]

6,000 passengers are onboard cruise ship in port Italy as a couple from Hong Kong are under evaluation with flu symptoms including high fever. Italian port protocol is being followed. Additionally many cruises in China have been canceled by numerous cruise lines. UK has 2 week monitoring of people returning from China. The corona virus is significant worldwide.

Literally posted by someone else 5 minutes before you, but neither of you cited a link to an article, though both seem to have copy and pasted from one...

I think the other thread got deleted as it got argumentative.  For those following, the passengers tested negative for Coronavirus.

This is old news and you failed to disclose that it was a false alarm and the 6000 passengers are free to leave the ship.

The OP posted it the same time as the other thread.  I bumped it to post that the test came back negative since the other thread got deleted.

I just read that carnival is not allowing passengers to board their ships if they have traveled to china in the past 14 days.

Is there really a cruise ship that big? 6000? Sounds awful, virus or no.
