We have been talking a lot about the spread of the coronavirus and also about all of people held in quarantine on air bases and cruise ships for fear that they might come down with it. 

One such couple from Santa Clarita, CA has had their Diamond Princess cruise extended by 14 days, but not by choice. A passenger on their ship contracted coronavirus, leading to a quarantine aboard the ship, now docked in Japan.

Carl Goldman surprised his wife, Jeri Seratti-Goldman, with a 16-day cruise aboard the ship as a birthday gift, but now they’re stuck in their cabin at port in Yokohama, Japan until Feb. 19.

The Goldmans are owners of the radio station KHTS in Santa Clarita and have been have detailing parts of their quarantined experience on the station’s website, hometownstation.com

We got a chance to hear from Carl Goldman about his experience being trapped on the ship.
