Hong Kong lifts quarantine on World Dream cruise ship

Hong Kong has lifted a quarantine on the World Dream cruise ship after clearing all crew members of the new virus.The ship has been placed under quarantine since it docked Wednesday after eight mainland Chinese passengers on a voyage last month were diagnosed with the virus.

Port official Leung Yiu-hon said tests on all 1,800 crew members were completed ahead of schedule and were negative.

He said Sunday that the quarantine of the ship, which has more than 1,800 mostly Hong Kong passengers, will end and all those on board will be allowed to leave.
