More than two dozen Chinese nationals aboard a cruise ship that returned to Bayonne, New Jersey, were being screened for any signs of the new virus on Friday morning.

Four of the Chinese travelers were being taken to University Hospital in Newark, according to Mayor Jimmy Davis.

The travelers had come from China for the Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas cruise through the Caribbean.

Twenty-three others, who had presented no symptoms, were heading to Newark airport for a flight back to China. — Brian Thompson

1. Yeah, I figured a cruise ship would be a great spreading ground for the virus

I'm surprised most of the ship hasn't caught it.........

3. Considering the 61 are out of 273 tested, they still have 3,400

more to test. You may not be far off.

2. It's not like the cruise was from China

The people from China took at least one flight. Ground transportation. Then the cruise. And I would bet a ton of people got exposed. Are they keeping everyone on the ship?
