200 Passengers get sick on Cruise Ship

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a clarification regarding reports of a mass illness outbreak on a Princess cruise ship. While rumors suggested a mass evacuation occurred in Singapore, the creator explains that the Sun Princess continued its twelve day journey from Australia despite a norovirus outbreak. Approximately 223 to 230 passengers experienced symptoms such as upset stomachs and flu like conditions. However, the creator notes that by the time the ship reached Singapore, the majority of those passengers felt better. Only 16 passengers chose to disembark in Singapore after being cleared by medical staff to ensure they were not contagious. The creator highlights that the reported claim of 2,000 passengers being evicted is false. Following the incident, Singaporean inspectors examined the ship's facilities and sanitization operations. The inspection results were described as exemplary. The creator concludes that while the illness affected about ten percent of the passengers, the situation was managed through decontamination and the cruise was able to proceed as planned.
