JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced via Twitter Sunday morning that 34 Georgians on the Grand Princess cruise ship will be securely transferred to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
The Grand Princess has remained off shore near California after 21 people aboard tested positive for coronavirus.
