NJ governor says four Royal Caribbean passengers sent to hospital

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy issued a statement on the docked Royal Caribbean (RCL) cruise ship in Bayonne. He said, “Personnel from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention boarded a cruise ship docked in Bayonne this morning and screened 27 passengers who recently traveled from mainland China. After being assessed by the CDC, 23 of those passengers were cleared and four individuals are being evaluated at an area hospital. The hospital is following proper infection control protocols while evaluating these individuals. New Jersey currently has no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus and the risk to residents remains low.” Shares of Royal Caribbean are down 3% to $112.86 in early trading while peers Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) and Carnival (CCL) are also lower.
