According to The Wall Street Journal, Princess Cruises said a “small cluster” of cases were traced back to the ship’s previous trip in late February between San Francisco and Mexico, in which an elderly passenger became the first coronavirus fatality in California.

The Grand Princess reportedly departed from San Francisco to Mexico from February 10-21, returned to San Francisco and left for Hawaii on February 21. Sixty-two passengers who went on the Mexico trip stayed on board for the Hawaii voyage, and one elderly passenger on the Mexico cruise reportedly became the California’s first coronavirus fatality.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California Health Department announced earlier Wednesday that they were in the “process of evaluating” the Grand Princess.

The ship was ordered to dock in San Francisco, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom delayed the ship’s landing due to the probe.

Of the ship’s 2,600 guest and 1,150 crew capacity, Newsom said 11 passengers and 10 crew members were potentially infected with the virus.
