The Grand Princess docked on the San Francisco bay is now being joined by other cruises around the world that are being prevented from being evacuated.

In the case of the Grand Princess, the passengers were evacuated but hundreds of crew members are still quarantined on a contaminated ship. Their quarantine will be over on April 5th and the question of their evacuation and continued protection of their health and safety is discussed in this interview.
