Other ships that have no reported cases are finding some countries closing access to ports out of fear they may harbor undiagnosed cases aboard.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said the Braemar was en route to Cuba, where it is hoped its 682 passengers can be disembarked. Most aboard are British, and the goal is to get them on planes headed for the United Kingdom. If all goes according to plan, the move to Cuba could end a dilemma in which the Braemar was anchored off Freeport, the Bahamas, but not permitted to dock.
"We are working around the clock to arrange evacuation flights from Cuba to the U.K. as soon as possible for passengers on the Braemar cruise ship," the cruise line quoted the British government's Foreign and Commonwealth Office as saying. The Bahamian government provided humanitarian assistance, but wouldn't let passengers set foot on any of the island nation's ports.
