Two cruise ships in separate parts of the globe are under lockdown after several passengers tested positive for COVID-19.
During a press conference about the latest COVID-19 cases in B.C., the health minister warned people who are undecided about taking a trip on a cruise. Out of the six new cases, two had been passengers on an infected cruise ship. Those who are considering going on cruises, who have bought tickets on cruises, need to seriously consider their position. For the health minister – it is best not to go.
The latest cruise carrying an infected passenger is on Egypt’s Nile River where more than 150 tourists and local crew are under quarantine.
The Vancouver cruise ship season is less than a month away and hundreds of cruise curious locals attended an Alaska cruise expo. Others were still eager about taking a cruise despite the warning of the health minister.
