OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – A cruise ship with a cluster of coronavirus cases began unloading passengers at a port in the San Francisco Bay Area after it was forced to idle off the California coast for days.
The Grand Princess pulled into the Port of Oakland on Monday.
Health and Human Services said officials hope to unload about half the 2,400 passengers Monday.
Americans will be transported to military bases in California, Texas and Georgia to be tested for the COVID-19 virus and quarantined.
People from other nations will be taken home.
Two tents with Canadian flags on them were on the tarmac to great nearly 240 Canadians aboard.
