Description:

An estimated 30 million passengers are transported on 272 cruise ships Worldwide each year* (1). Cruise ships bring diverse populations into proximity for many days, facilitating Transmission of respiratory illness (2). SARS-CoV-2, the Virus that causes coronaVirus disease (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread Worldwide to at least 187 countries and territories. Widespread COVID-19 Transmission on cruise ships has been reported as well (3). Passengers on certain cruise ship voyages might be aged ≥65 years, which places them at greater risk for severe consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection (4). During February-March 2020, COVID-19 outbreaks associated with three cruise ship voyages have caused more than 800 laboratory-confirmed cases among passengers and crew, including 10 deaths. Transmission occurred across multiple voyages of several ships. This report describes public health responses to COVID-19 outbreaks on these ships. COVID-19 on cruise ships poses a risk for rapid spread of disease, causing outbreaks in a vulnerable population, and aggressive efforts are required to contain spread. All persons should defer all cruise travel Worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic.
