Coronavirus-hit Grand Princess cruise ship docks at Port of Oakland

The Grand Princess cruise ship that carries thousands of people, including 21 COVID-19 patients, docked at the Port of Oakland Monday after being held off at sea for days, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence told a media briefing on Monday.

All 25 children aboard are "all healthy," and the 21 people who have been diagnosed with the COVID-19 "are being dealt with in proper isolation," Pence told reporters.

The U.S. has made arrangements with Canada and the UK to take their nations' passengers back through charter flights, he said, and on Tuesday, remaining passengers "will be transported again through carefully controlled environments to military bases in Georgia and Texas," where they will be tested, isolated and quarantined as appropriate.
