In the summer of 2018 10 cruise ships in Europe were hit by a mysterious case of Norovirus. The cause of the virus was later found when three ships sailing into the US were tested. *** The virus in question in Norovirus not Coronavirus, but it does give us an interesting insight into how virus's spread on cruise ships ** Support me on Patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/EmmaCruises CDC report into the linked Norovirus cases: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6916a3.htm?s_cid=mm6916a3_w CDC report into ships with confirmed Norovirus outbreaks: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/gilist.htm#2019 (If you want to work out which cruise line is the one with the outbreaks you'll be able to match the sailing dates and outbreak percentages) Guests on all 10 European cruises had the same symptoms and it affected around 3% of passengers at the time there was no clear source. Norovirus doesn't always have an identifiable source and many people get it on land without even knowing. Your chance of getting Norovirus on land is around 1/15 and on a cruise ship is around 1/5500. Norovirus definitely isn't a 'cruise virus' but it's much easier to track and trace onboard so it often appears this way. https://cruising.org/about-the-industry/policy-priorities/public-health-and-medical/nororvirus-on-cruise-ships "The first outbreak occurred on another ship (ship B) of cruise line X sailing to and from New York City along the eastern seaboard and affected 85 (3.9%) of 2,166 passengers and 10 (1.6%) of 612 crew members; the second outbreak occurred on ship A sailing from Montreal to New York City and affected 83 (3.7%) of 2,251 passengers and 10 (1.6%) of 610 crew members." *** ▶ SUBSCRIBE or weekly cruise tips, tours and news: https://bit.ly/34ltwZi ▶ FREE TRAINING: Want to learn how to cruise well on a budget? https://bit.ly/31vGORb ▶ JOIN THIS CHANNEL: https://bit.ly/3kmSZan ▶ BOOKING A CRUISE?
