The captain told passengers that not everyone would.U.S. passengers will be flown or bused from the port -- chosen because of its proximity to an airport and a military base -- to bases in California, Texas and Georgia for testing and a 14-day quarantine.
Michele Smith, 57, of Paradise, California, said a doctor knocked on her and her husband's cabin before dawn and asked if they had a fever or a cough. The couple on their annual vacation are healthy and, like the rest of the 2,400 passengers aboard, have been isolating in their cabins since Thursday.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the metropolitan area's airports, tested positive and is isolated in his home. Director Rick Cotton had been at the facilities while travellers were returning from hot spots, Cuomo said.
About 1,100 crew members, 19 of whom have tested positive for the new virus, will be quarantined and treated aboard the ship, which will dock elsewhere, Newsom said.
