The coronavirus-hit Coral Princess cruise ship is going to dock in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, its owner has said.

The ship has been stuck at sea since 19 March after being banned from docking in Buenos Aires. There are 1,898 people on the ship, 12 of whom have tested positive for Covid-19.

Three of the Princess Cruises' other ships have had outbreaks on board too, including the Diamond Princess in Japan. On 12 March the company cancelled all new cruises for 60 days.

Two other virus-hit cruises arrived in Fort Lauderdale earlier today - the Zaandam, which has people with confirmed and suspected coronavirus on board, and its sister ship the Rotterdam, which is carrying asymptomatic passengers who were originally on the Zaandam.

Andrew Rae, whose parents Morven and Ian are still on board the Zaandam, told the BBC: "We're not entirely out of the woods yet. When they tell me they've got a flight booked and they're on their way home I'll be a lot happier."
