Shares of Carnival dropped Monday after the cruise line confirmed that a former passenger has been confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus.
The Diamond Princess cruise ship was being held by Japanese authorities under quarantine at anchor in Yokohama following Japanese news reports that an 80-year old male passenger from Hong Kong boarded the ship in Yokohama on Jan. 20 and disembarked on Jan. 25.
The passenger developed a cough the day before embarking but didn't develop a fever until Jan. 30. A day later, he was confirmed to have the virus while in Hong Kong, according to reports.
Carnival shares were down 1.63% to $42.82 on Monday.

What was the difference between California and the Titanic?
The Titanic still had the lights on when it went down.....
But now, given the last decade of norovirus and now coronavirus outbreaks, you couldn't get me on one of those giant floating petri dishes for love nor money.
Well, maybe if there was one and it was the only ship at the tiny island I was on, and the entire island was on fire. Maybe.
Though I'd consider jumping in the water first.
The stock market needs to keep calm. What do you think the odds are that this man went to that exact province? I’m wagering that yeah he did.
I’m so sick and tired of the fear and panic mongering is going on every person in North America it has contracted it has some connection to that province. And if I’m not mistaken, that province is home to a bio weapons facility somebody made a mistake brought some chemical home with them and there you go.
Did an Alaska cruise on that very ship in 2010.
Yeah, but it looks like $hi+loads of people go to and fro that province daily.
“And if I’m not mistaken, that province is home to a bio weapons facility somebody made a mistake brought some chemical home with them and there you go.”
That sentence right there shows you don’t know what you are talking about. You think only people that went to Wu Han province and were exposed to some chemical that somebody brought home with them are sick?
