"Dual outbreaks of gastro and COVID on the
Grand Princess cruise ship that
docked in Adelaide on Monday have now been declared over by the doctor on
board.
A spokesperson for Princess Cruises, which operates the ship, said a number of
passengers had presented with symptoms on a previous voyage. But the ship has
since been disinfected and the number of people who were ill when the ship
arrived into Adelaide was said to be in single digits.
While this is positive news, reports of infectious outbreaks on cruise ships
evoke a sense of deja vu. We probably all remember the high-profile COVID
outbreaks that occurred on cruise ships in 2020.
So what is it about cruise ships that can make them such hotspots for
infection?"
