Cruise Ship in Norway under quarantine, waiting for virus test on 2 passengers

A German cruise ship with 1,200 passengers is under quarantine in southern Norway waiting for the test results of two passengers for the novel coronavirus, reported AP citing officials on Tuesday.

The two passengers had been in contact with a third person a week ago who tested positive for the virus. That person was not on the ship, according to the report.

The results are expected to be released later Tuesday.
