Two cruise ships carrying passengers infected with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, docked Thursday in Florida after more than two weeks stranded at sea.

The Zaandam and its sister vessel, the Rotterdam, which was sent to help it, were allowed to dock at Port Everglades after being turned away from 11 countries since its last stop in South America on March 14.
