President Trump’s coronavirus task force reportedly overruled Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield when he recommended an order banning passenger cruise trips be extended into 2021.
Following outbreaks of the coronavirus on cruise ships in March, like the Diamond Princess, which had more than 800 positive coronavirus cases alone, the CDC issued a no-sail order on all U.S. cruise ships for 30 days. In April, the order was extended another 100 days.
