CBS 13 in Sacramento reports that a person died in Placer County of the virus. It is the 11th coronavirus death in the U.S.

The county health department told CBS 13 that the person was a critically ill older adult who may have been exposed to coronavirus on a Princess cruise ship that traveled from San Francisco to Mexico.

The patient had been in isolation at a hospital in Roseville, but health officials said the patient did not have much community exposure between the time they returned from the cruise ship to when they got to the hospital last week.

Ten healthcare workers and five emergency responders are in quarantine because of their contact with the patient. Health officials said none of them are showing symptoms.

This is a developing story.
