California officials are blocking a cruise ship from docking in San Francisco after a passenger from the ship’s previous voyage died on Wednesday.

The Grand Princess went on a 10-day roundtrip to Mexico in mid-February before picking up new passengers and leaving for Hawaii. It was on its way to Ensenada in Baja California when a patient who was on the previous voyage died from the virus, prompting the ship to head back to California.
