Vietnam announced it has blocked one cruise ship from docking over fears of the new virus that is sweeping through China, according to state media outlets.

Officials in Quang Ninh Province refused to allow the AIDAvita cruise ship to disembark on Thursday after it previously docked in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, “which are countries where people have coronavirus,” officially known as COVID-19, according to a Thursday article posted by Vietnamese state media.
