Los Angeles - Twenty-one people onboard a cruise ship stranded off the coast of San Francisco have tested positive for the new coronavirus, Vice President Mike Pence said on Friday.
"We will be testing everyone on the ship and quarantining as necessary," Pence said."But with regard to the 1,100-member crew, we anticipate that they will be quarantined on the ship." Worldwide, the virus has killed more than 3,450 people and infected more than 100,000 across 92 nations, according to the latest count by AFP.Earlier Friday, President Donald Trump signed an emergency $8.3 billion spending bill to fight the outbreak and visited the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , in Atlanta.
Ultra, scheduled for March 20 to 22, regularly draws in more than 160,000 revelers. The cancellation poses a challenge for Miami, which relies on tourism especially in March and April, when thousands of young people fly south for spring break. "We plan to resume normal class operations when spring quarter begins March 30, pending public health guidance," university president Ana Mari Cauce said.
