OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say eight Nebraska residents who were on a cruise ship forced to idle off the California coast because of COVID-19 cases aboard have returned to the state and will isolate themselves for 14 days.
The Grand Princess pulled into the Port of Oakland March 9 with more than 3,500 people aboard — 21 confirmed to be infected with the new virus.
The Nebraska residents were among those then taken for quarantine at a California military facility.
Eight of them flew back to Nebraska on Monday.
Nebraska officials say four more will be arriving in the coming days.
