'We are going to be willing to accept Floridians on board,' Florida's governor said about a cruise ship seeking to disembark after more than 190 guests & crew reported flu-like symptoms. But he expressed concerns about taking in more, due to hospital space
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday his state was willing to accept Floridians on board a cruise ship seeking to disembark in Florida after more than 190 guests and crew reported flu-like symptoms, including eight passengers who tested positive for Covid-19.
But DeSantis expressed concerns about taking in others given the state's limited hospital beds."We are going to be willing to accept Floridians on board," he told reporters."My understanding is most of the passengers are foreign nationals."At least 49 Floridians are among more than 300 Americans aboard Holland America's Zaandam cruise ship.
