Cheering California cruise passengers return to dry land; now comes coronavirus quarantine


OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) - Weary passengers aboard a cruise ship idled at sea for days by an onboard coronavirus outbreak erupted in cheers on Monday as the vessel sailed into San Francisco Bay en route to the Port of Oakland and the next, unexpected phase of their voyage - two weeks of quarantine.

The 2,400 passengers, who have been largely confined to their staterooms since Thursday, were to begin disembarking on Monday for transport to quarantine stations or hospitals, depending on whether they are well or need immediate medical attention.
