Norway cruise ship passengers with coronavirus reach 43

        The number of passengers on a Norwegian cruise ship who have tested positive for the coronavirus has reached 43, authorities said Tuesday.
        
        The outbreak on the MS Roald Amundsen raised new questions about safety on cruise ships during the pandemic even as the industry is pressing to resume sailings after shutting down in March.
        
        The ship's owner on Monday halted all trips and Norway closed its ports to cruise ships for two weeks.
        
        The city of Trondheim reported the two new cases — a man in his 70s with light symptoms and a child under age 10 with no symptoms — saying both had been passengers on the ship.
