State Department urges US citizens to avoid cruise ship travel
U.S. citizens, especially those with underlying medical conditions, should not travel by cruise ship, the Department of State announced Sunday. The State Department said passengers with plans to travel by cruise ship should contact their cruise line companies directly for further information and continue to monitor travel.state.gov and check the latest cruise ship guidance from the CDC. U.S. citizens, especially with underlying conditions, should not travel by cruise ship. Brian Kemp announced Sunday morning on Twitter that 34 Georgia residents on the Grand Princess cruise ship will be securely transferred to Dobbins Air Reserve Base. But the largest known outbreak on a cruise ship was on the Diamond Princess, a sister ship of the Grand Princess owned by Princess Cruises.
