FAIRFIELD, Calif. (KTVU) - Passengers who disembarked the contaminated Grand Princess cruise ship and are showing coronavirus-like symptoms are being relocated to a hotel in San Carlos.
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) said each person transferring to the hotel has been screened by medical professionals and they only have mild symptoms that do not require hospitalization. They cannot stay at Travis Air Force Base, where a significant number of passengers have begun their mandatory 14-day quarantine.
People displaying symptoms must be moved off the base, away from the rest of the passengers.
