The company said that 62 other guests who sailed on the Grand Princess cruise ship from San Francisco to Mexico and back with the passenger who died had remained on board for a current trip to Hawaii.

Placer County Public Health officials announced Wednesday that a patient who had tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from a cruise to Mexico last month had died.

Officials said that people who had close contact with the patient were being quarantined and monitored for the illness.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of this patient,” Placer County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson said. “While we have expected more cases, this death is an unfortunate milestone in our efforts to fight this disease, and one that we never wanted to see.
