The Dominican Republic rejected a cruise ship on Thursday over fears of the new coronavirus while Mexico allowed another that had been turned away at multiple ports to dock.

The latter ship, the MSC Meraviglia, had more than 6,000 people on board when it docked in Cozumel after being rejected by Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
