This directive applies to passengers who were in close contact with an infected individual during the cruise.
Coverage varies among outlets, with The Hill focusing on the CDC's requirements for quarantine and the implications for public health. The New York Post emphasizes the authority of the CDC and the specific actions taken by its acting director, while the Straits Times highlights the potential legal consequences for those attempting to leave quarantine.
