In California, COVID-19 has been reported in 12 counties and has sickened more than 50 people, some of whom have contracted the virus through community spread not connected to foreign travel.
Additional cases were announced elsewhere in the state, including four in Los Angeles County, all of whom had recently returned from Italy.
The Princess Cruises passenger is the first person to die in California from the illness. Following the man’s death, the cruise line said it was notified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the agency was investigating a small cluster of coronavirus cases in Northern California related to the cruise.
The U.S. Coast Guard delivered kits to the ship via helicopter Thursday morning so the ship’s medical team could administer the tests. The samples then were to be flown to a lab in Richmond, Calif., for processing, Princess Cruises said.told the Los Angeles Times
