Two cruise ships with people on board with influenza-like symptoms are being held off the coast of Florida as the U.S. Coast Guard helped evacuate the sick people from the vessels.
The Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Sector Miami, issued an order Thursday that both vessels need to remain three miles offshore, according to PortMiami.
