The Grand Princess ship, which has been carrying over 3,500 people from 54 countries and languishing off the coast of Northern California since Thursday because of the coronavirus, is expected to dock at the Port of Oakland, Calif., on Monday.
American passengers on the Grand Princess will be transferred to military posts in California, Texas and Georgia to be tested and kept for a mandatory 14-day quarantine, federal health officials said Sunday during a news conference with Gov. Gavin Newsom. Health and Human Services officials said nearly 1,000 California residents on the ship will complete the quarantine at Travis Air Force Base north of San Francisco and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar near San Diego. Residents of other states will complete the quarantine at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas or Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Georgia.
The officials said all will be monitored for symptoms of COVID-19 throughout their quarantine, adding that crew members who tested positive for the virus would remain on the ship. The Grand Princess has been some 10 to 12 miles offshore since Thursday. Of the 21 people infected aboard the ship, 19 crew members and two passengers had tested positive for COVID-19.
