Cruise Passengers Scared And Don't Know What's Happening

A Russian couple trapped on the cruise ship off the Italian coast which has been quarantined following coronavirus fears say they are "very scared" about what is happening.

Olesya Utasheva and her husband are among the 6,000 passengers together with 1,000 crew trapped on board the Costa Smeralda that has been quarantined in the port city of Civitavecchia, near Rome, after a Chinese woman fell ill with a high fever.

But this Russian couple who issued a message via a video shot on board said that panic had not broken out because many people did not realise what was going on, and very few were asking questions about the lockdown.
