Presumptive positive sailed from SF to Mexico in February

[realcindylouwho]

Although this article doesn't name the cruise line the female passenger had sailed on, she recently returned from a cruise originating in San Francisco and went to Mexico. This could be a number of cruise lines and ships. However, after knowing she had been in Sonoma County for the past 10 days, it makes me wonder if she was on a Princess 10 day cruise that left the U.S. on February 11th? 

What does everyone else guess? Do you think passengers will be alerted to watch for symptoms?

Looking at the cruise port schedule, the Feb 11 Princess cruise is the only possibility.  There was a Feb 21 Princess cruise that went to Hawaii (returning this upcoming Sat.) and a port call for one other non-mainline company ship ("Amadea?").  That rounds out the Feb. port schedule for the SF cruise port.

”A person being treated for coronavirus in Sonoma County had taken a Princess Cruises line to Mexico from the Port of San Francisco in February, Sonoma County public health officials confirmed Tuesday evening. 

The patient reported symptoms after the Feb. 11 to Feb. 21 voyage on the Grand Princess ship and is under treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Sonoma County, public health department spokesman Rohish Lal said. Officials announced the confirmed case Monday but did disclose the name of the ship. 

Princess Cruises offers a ten day trip from San Francisco to Mexico that takes passengers through Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.

Outgoing public health officer, Dr. Celeste Philip, is leading the investigation to find other people who may have come into contact with the patient and may have been exposed to the virus within the county, Lal said. 

The patient had taken a shuttle from the San Francisco port to the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport. Anyone who may have been on that shuttle is asked to contact the health department at (707) 565-4566.”

And looks like one person from that cruise passed away this AM

Sacramento NEWS is just now reporting elderly male on the February 11th Princess out of SF passed away from the virus.  He lived in Placer County (east of Sacramento) and had underlying health conditions.  As with other cases he wasn't tested until late as he didn't fit the profile.  

The ship coming back from HI was slated to dock tonight and it has been told to stay off the coast tonight and dock tomorrow to allow for sufficient resources to be in place at debarkation in SF.

In a news conference Gov. Gavin Newsom says 1000s of test kits were being flown out to the ship and hinted he wanted the ship to stay out of SF Bay until the results are in.
