I follow these ladies on YouTube.

I think there were 22 cases. It's right there in the title.. It's been a long day.

Passengers disembarked by order of priority, those with acute medical needs first. Officials said it could take up to three days to unload everybody. But by Friday, five days after the Grand Princess first docked, 14 international passengers still remained on board. Officials said they’d be there at least through the weekend while their home countries arranged transportation.

The boat’s 1,000-plus crew is expected to remain on board under quarantine while officials determine a place to dock for good.
