Authorities allowed a cruise ship to dock on March 8 in Florida after waiting for coronavirus tests to come back, but are blocking a second ship on March 9 until crew members on board are tested for the illness.

The Regal Princess was allowed to dock at Port Everglades on March 8 after two crew members who were tested for the virus tested negative.
