A Wisconsin woman and her two parents are stuck on a ship that's currently in a quarantine. 21 people on board have coronavirus.
It will take weeks for a Wisconsin woman and her parents to return home after they learned that 21 people aboard their cruise ship tested positive for the new coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
According to a WTMJ-TV report, Wisconsinite Debbi Loftus and her parents are three of roughly 3,500 people who have been stuck on the Grand Princess cruise ship that has been quarantined 50 miles of the San Francisco coast. The ship was headed from Hawaii to San Francisco, but was stopped after health officials were warned that infected people may be on board.
According to a Patch report out of California, they're expected to finally dock in Oakland on Monday, but will be quarantined for two weeks on a military base to be determined.
