Virus fears keep hundreds of cruise passengers at sea

Operators of a British cruise ship that was turned away from its destination due to fears of the new coronavirus said Saturday they have chartered planes to ferry passengers home — but don't yet have permission to dock anywhere. The Braemar, which had been scheduled to disembark its hundreds of passengers in the Dominican Republic on Friday, was still cruising through the Caribbean more than a day later, with no immediate word on where it might wind up. Olsen Cruise Lines issued statements insisting that nobody aboard had symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 illness.
