Twenty-one passengers aboard a cruise ship parked off the coast of California have tested positive for coronavirus, Vice President Mike Pence said, as President Trump debates whether to allow them to leave the vessel.
“Among those tested … 21 of those on the ship tested positive for the coronavirus,” Pence said at a press briefing on Friday afternoon, noting that 19 of the new patients were crew members, and that one test was “inconclusive.”
