Another California-based cruise ship is being held with passengers aboard due to coronavirus concerns.

The city of Long Beach said on Twitter today that the CDC has decided to hold passengers on board the Carnival Panorama docked at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal while a passenger is tested for coronavirus.


The passenger was transported to a hospital by the Long Beach Fire Department this morning. The move to keep passengers on board was done "in an abundance of caution," according to the Tweet.

According to Long Beach, no residents have tested positive for coronavirus.
