SINGAPORE: A passenger on board a Royal Caribbean vessel tested positive for COVID-19 during a cruise to nowhere, prompting the ship to turn back ahead of schedule.
The cruise ship is returning to port"in accordance with government protocols, and will debark guests after a review of contact tracing is completed", Royal Caribbean International said. In October, the Singapore Tourism Board announced that two cruise lines - Genting and Royal Caribbean - will be resume cruises at a maximum capacity of 50 per cent.Cruises are required to comply with safe management measures, such as social distancing and mask-wearing.
The vessel features an upgraded heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, which will continuously supply"100 per cent fresh, filtered air" from outside the ship to replace used air onboard", the cruise line said. "With the appropriate ... measures in place, such cruises are no less safe compared to other activities and settings that have since resumed," Ms Chang said.
Convert the liner to quarantine ship ,for 2 wks!!🤗
Should quarantine all passengers and crews, unless clearly identified close contact persons, once some one was infected was out to the community, that's it.
We have to assume that all of the passengers got infected and incinerate the entire ship! There goes phase 3! 🙄
Cruise to nowhere, while virus coming from nowhere
Well no more cruising for a while
Cruise should not start in the first place!
Huh..can disembark and just monitor their health for 14 days, within the period can go back to work and school as per usual? Did i misunderstand that?
Zoo b do by by Www 1
It’s still gonna be reported as ZERO community case right?
sporeMOH if I am not wrong recently there was a singapore business passenger that tested negative on arrival singapore but develop symptoms 4 days later so maybe all these pre/post covid test is not really that effective?Maybe there is a time lag where the virus can be picked up
I love our g
Even if passengers test negative, looks like it’s no guarantee it’s safe anymore.
Interesting. Where & how did the infection originated? Looking forward to hearing from MOH & CNA
Stupiang!
Cruise to no return now. All will be quarantined on the ship for weeks 😂
How did this happen in a cruise to nowhere
So what? BREAKING: USA has 200K cases a day with 3000 dead. Now that is NEWS. A ship with more safety protocols then a hospital isolating a case they found is not news, only for your failing outlet.
