A cruise ship scheduled to arrive in Florida in the coming days has reported that at least 189 people on board are suffering from influenza-like symptoms, at least two have tested positive for the CCP virus, and four people have died.
Holland America’s Zaandam ship started traveling down the Panama Canal on Sunday night after it was docked in Panama for several days. Several South American ports denied the ship entry, according to a statement from the firm.
