“NCL has been adhering to appropriate quarantine and isolation protocols,” the department said in a tweet.Everyone on board will be tested for COVID-19 before leaving and will be provided with post-exposure and quarantine public health guidance by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
The cruise company said that it requires all passengers and crew members to have been vaccinated before departure, and that the cases represent only a “handful” of the thousands of people on the ship. It described their infections as “asymptomatic.” Cruise ships were an early source of outbreaks last year, prompting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a no-sail order in March 2020. As the government allowed cruises to resume with some restrictions, ships added vaccine requirements, testing rules, capacity limits and mask mandates.A report by the CDC last month showed that more than a thousand cases had been discovered on cruises in the United States since sailing resumed following the industry-wide shutdown.
Everyone was tested for the virus before the end of the cruise, the officials said, and those who tested positive either traveled directly home or were required to self-isolate according to CDC guidelines in accommodations provided by the cruise company. The crew member with the probable case of the omicron variant didn’t leave the ship, officials said.
