Cruise ship struck by coronavirus pulls into California port

Passengers will move to military base for a 14-day quarantine

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A cruise ship with a cluster of coronavirus cases that forced it to idle off the California coast for days arrived Monday at a port in the San Francisco Bay Area as state and U.S. officials prepared to start bringing passengers to military bases for quarantine or get them back to their home countries.

The Grand Princess pulled into the Port of Oakland with more than 3,500 people aboard — 21 of them infected with the new virus. Some people waved from their balconies or left their cabins to go onto the decks.
