CRUISE NEWS - CASES REPORTED ON 60+ CRUISE SHIPS

Editorial Summary

Tony from La Lido Loca presents a weekly report regarding COVID-19 data for cruise ships operating in United States waters. The presentation utilizes the CDC dashboard, which categorizes ships into five color coded statuses ranging from green for no reported cases to red for ships under investigation that are performing poorly. The creator notes that 44 ships are currently in green status, 33 are in yellow status, and 31 are in orange status. This results in a total of 64 ships reporting cases during the most recent cycle. The host observes a slight downward trend in the total number of ships being tracked, moving from 111 ships last week to 108 ships this week. While the number of ships under investigation has increased by nine since the previous week, the creator concludes that this does not necessarily warrant alarm. He explains that the CDC manages outbreaks on a ship by ship basis rather than imposing broad regulations on the entire industry. The report suggests that the upward trend in reported cases may be linked to recent changes in capacity restrictions allowing more passengers on board.
