#GrandPrincess Update: We can confirm that disembarkation of guests onboard Grand Princess is expected to begin tomorrow in the Port of Oakland. We received official confirmation during a press conference held by California Governor Gavin Newsom and others.
Disembarkation will commence in order of priority, as defined and directed by both state and local authorities. It is expected to be a multiple day process.
The U.S. Coast Guard will be sending California Health & Human Services teams to assist with medical triage, screening and interviews, and prioritizing those who require the most acute care.

#GrandPrincess Update: We have received word from state and local response operations that Grand Princess will proceed to the Port of Oakland on Sunday to begin disembarking guests who require acute medical treatment and hospitalization.
Exact timing is still being determined in a coordinated manner with all operations resources. These guests will be transported to medical facilities in California.
Disembarkation will continue Monday for other guests. According to Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, following health screenings, guests who are California residents will go to a federally operated facility within California for testing and isolation...
We were requested by the CDC to share information about a crew member who previously served on #GrandPrincess and transferred to #RoyalPrincess 15 days ago.
After sharing all information and details about the crew member, the CDC approved clearance for Royal Princess yesterday, to sail today, with no restrictions placed on the vessel.
However, late this afternoon, the CDC informed us of their decision to issue a “no-sail order” until the crew member was tested for COVID-19. We have unfortunately been unable to obtain this test given the lateness of the request.
Hi all, we submitted the #COVIDー19 genome sequence from the viral strain linked to the #GrandPrincess cruise ship off coast of San Francisco to #GISAID. Phylogenetic analysis shows that it clusters with the outbreak clade circulating in Washington State. @UCSF #coronavirus
Please note that this finding does NOT prove that the virus was transmitted from Washington State to California, or vice-versa. There are other scenarios possible, such as separate introductions from outside of the US, that are compatible with the phylogenetic grouping.

We can confirm that the results from the first phase of health screenings of 45 guests and crew onboard #GrandPrincess were completed. We were notified by Vice President Pence while he was conducting a press conference....
...and simultaneously by the CDC speaking to our doctor onboard, that among the samples tested, 21 people have tested positive for COVID-19 which includes 2 guests and 19 crew.
We are awaiting official specific plans for future positioning of the ship from relevant authorities. We will continue to closely follow the guidance of the CDC and other federal and state government authorities, and provide updates as they are made available.
I've been talking with passengers on the #GrandPrincess cruise ship that's being held off the coast. They tell me helicopters just dropped off #coronavirus test kits.
Passengers tell me about 100 people who have been identified will be tested
They says those include:
-Passengers who were on the first cruise to Mexico,
-Crew who've been in contact with them
-Anyone who went to onboard medical center w flu-like symptoms or respiratory issues

Passengers tell me everyone else, not being tested, is free to roam on the ship.
They tell me dining room, decks, etc. are currently open.

Two helicopters approaching the #GrandPrincess with #coronavirus test kits. Again, my parents are on board (as well as many other parents and siblings and children). Please pray for them. @PrincessCruises @GavinNewsom @KTVU #COVID19
The helicopters have now departed. I assume all those who need testing will have samples drawn, after which the samples will be delivered to Richmond where the four-hour-long testing procedure commences.
I'll post additional updates here. Again, thanks to the hardworking reporters covering this story.
- No strict order to return to rooms but it's suggested
- Passengers are told to maintain six feet of distance from one another
- Suggested that diners space themselves by a seat
