CDC Ends Reporting Covid-19 Cases on Cruise Ships

Homepage of CDC

A notice on the CDC’s website indicates the termination of the Centers’ program for reporting Covid-19 cases on cruise ships. The CDC indicated the cruise industry has access to the tools necessary to manage their own COVID-19 mitigation programs. The notice stated the CDC will continue to publish guidance to help cruise ships continue to provide a safer and healthier environment for crew, passengers, and communities going forward.

In a FAQ section, the CDC stated the agency ended the program because it “depended upon each cruise line having the same COVID-19 screening testing standards, which may now vary among cruise lines.”  The notice indicated the public should contact the cruise lines directly regarding outbreaks occurring on board ships
