The coronavirus-hit Coral Princess changed its arrival plans and arrived in Miami on Saturday morning. Two passengers have died, the captain announced.
Two people on the Coral Princess cruise ship, which reported 12 positive cases of coronavirus on Thursday, died overnight, according to an announcement from the ship’s captain Saturday morning. He made the announcement not long before the ship ended its long voyage in Miami.

In Miami-Dade, the county’s mayor said discussions started Friday about allowing the ship to dock there. The plan was in place by early Saturday morning, Mayor Carlos Gimenez said.
“Disembarkation of guests is expected to take several days due to limited flight availability,” the cruise company said. “Guests requiring shoreside medical care will be prioritized to disembark first.”New Jersey resident Paul Nahm, whose parents Peter and Grace Nahm are on the ship and sick, said that they were hanging in there Saturday, though he said no one from the ship had checked on them as of early afternoon.
