More than 3,800 passengers on a cruise ship disembarked in Miami without screening for COVID-19 [View all]

despite a previous traveler testing positive days earlier

More than 3,800 passengers disembarked from a cruise ship in Miami on Sunday without any type of screening for illness or potential coronavirus infections, the Miami Herald reported Sunday.

"When I say there was no check, there was none whatsoever," one passenger told the Herald. "I expected us to have some kind of a screening. They didn't do a single thing. We walked straight off the ship. There wasn't any check on anyone for anything."

A previous passenger on that same ship, the MSC Meraviglia, disembarked on March 8 and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

MSC told the Herald it "followed all protocols as required" and had been cleared to dock and disembark as normal by US health authorities.
