CDC investigating Princess Cruise ship after people tested positive for the virus following voyages in January and March.
San Jose Mercury News"It was quite clear that there were a large percentage of passengers that were sick, but unless you self-reported, you were free to keep going and infect other passengers," California resident Ted Vomacka told the Mercury News."It was obvious from observing all the coughing and hacking that some form of infection was going around."
San Francisco's health department said everyone aboard the Hawaii cruise was vaccinated and that the people who tested positive showed mild or no symptoms. "Only one person was hospitalized, which speaks to the incredible efficacy of vaccination," the department said in a statement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now investigating the Ruby Princess over the virus outbreaks, along with four other Princess Cruise ships where COVID-19 has surfaced.
Princess isn't the only cruise still line battling with the virus. The CDC is also investigating outbreaks more than a dozen Royal Caribbean cruise ships and more than a dozen Norwegian Cruise Line ships. Cruise ships are required to notify the CDC of any confirmed cases of COVID-19 on board.
