The Costa Smeralda is docked in Civitavecchia as passengers and crew are being held on the ship due to fears about two guests with coronavirus-like symptoms, according to Italian news reports.
The guests, reportedly from Macau, have been quarantined in separate rooms.
Blood work is currently being carried out at a hospital in Rome, according to reports, and both have been evaluated by the ship’s doctor.
Italian news showed officials wearing masks boarding the 2019-built ship in Civitavecchia. The cruise is scheduled to next dock in Savona, where it is due to arrive on Saturday.
