CDC Says Cruise Ships Must ‘Report All Deaths’

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday posted new guidelines for cruise ship operators after it rescinded its COVID-19 program for cruises days before.
On Thursday, the CDC issued a new set of guidelines for cruise ships that aren’t mandatory, saying they’re designed to assist operators with their health protocols.
The agency stated that “cruise ships must continue to report all deaths and other illnesses as defined by CDC to the CDC quarantine station at or nearest the U.S. port of arrival.”
In recent months, there were instances of fully vaccinated cruise ships suffering COVID-19 outbreaks, which derailed the ship’s travel plans.
For example, a “100 percent vaccinated” Princess Cruises ship, for example, suffered a COVID-19 outbreak before it docked in San Francisco, according to officials in March.
