Carnival Offers its Vacant Ships as Hospitals During the Global Coronavirus Pandemic

In a press release on March 19, cruise ship operator Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) offered its ships to governments around the world for use as hospitals. The offer is for non-COVID-19 patients, as COVID-19 patients strain existing hospital resources. Available ships come from several Carnival-owned lines, including its Carnival Cruise and Princess Cruises lines.

Current data from the World Health Organization shows that most countries have at least one reported case of COVID-19, meaning there are plenty which could be interested in Carnival's offer.
