NEW JERSEY Four remained in a hospital on Saturday after two dozen people who arrived in New Jersey this week were tested for the coronavirus, officials say.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had ordered the four individuals to be evaluated at a New Jersey hospital to make sure that they do not have the coronavirus, the state Department of Health told Patch on Saturday. The other 23 passengers from a cruise ship that arrived on Friday were cleared.
Test results are pending at the CDC in Atlanta, the DOH said.

Yeah if this turns out to spread the virus and kill people then those at the CDC who made this decision should be charged with murder.
Not too late for us to do as they did in THE DECAMERON but we will probably end up like The Mask of the Red Death.
CREW MEMBER FOUND DEAD
Meanwhile, law enforcement sources told WNBC on Saturday that a 54-year-old crew member, a Filipino national, was found dead in an engine room of the ship last weekend.
Authorities don’t believe the man’s death is connected to the coronavirus scare as he didn’t show symptoms of the illness, but they’re awaiting an autopsy and treating his death with an “abundance of caution.”
According to WNBC, the man’s body was kept in a refrigerated compartment on the ship before it was sent to Newark for a “rush” autopsy...https://1010wins.radio.com/articles/...onavirus-scare
Last weekend!!!!
Did the CDC know before they let everyone off the ship?
Thanks for the info.
“Bayonne is a much better choice.”
Yes, it had the infrastructure in place already to dock them, and is on a NJ Turnpike extension.
