The World Dream cruise ship was quarantined in Hong Kong on Wednesday after three former passengers tested positive for the disease. All of the ship’s 3,600 crew members and passengers were on lockdown in Hong Kong as the crew members—who may have had contact with the infected passengers on an earlier trip—were tested. Another cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, is currently under quarantine in Tokyo as 70 passengers on board have been diagnosed, including 12 Americans, NBC News reported.
