Federal health officials are dropping the warning they have attached to
cruising since the beginning of the pandemic, leaving it up to vacationers to
decide whether they feel safe getting on a ship.
Cruise-ship operators welcomed Wednesday’s announcement, which came as many
people thought about summer vacation plans.
An industry trade group said the move by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention validated measures that ship owners have taken, including
requiring crew members and most passengers to be vaccinated against the virus.
The CDC removed the COVID-19 “cruise ship travel health notice” that was
first imposed in March 2020, after virus outbreaks on several ships around
the world.
However, the agency expressed reservations about cruising.
“While cruising will always pose some risk of COVID-19 transmission,
travelers will make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a
cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings,” CDC spokesman
Dave Daigle said in an email.
Daigle said the CDC's decision was based on “the current state of the
pandemic and decreases in COVID-19 cases onboard cruise ships over the past
several weeks.”
COVID-19 cases in the United States have been falling since mid-January,
although the decline has slowed in recent weeks, and the current seven-day
rolling average for daily new cases in the U.S. is roughly unchanged from two
weeks ago, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. States have
rolled back mask mandates, putting pressure on federal officials to ease
virus-related restrictions.
Cruise-ship operators have complained since the start of the pandemic that
their industry has been singled out for a shutdown and then tighter COVID-19
restrictions than others, including airlines.
The Cruise Lines International Association said in a statement that the CDC's
decision to remove its health warning “recognizes the effective public
health measures in place on cruise ships and begins to level the playing
field between cruise and similarly situated venues on land.”
聯邦衛生官員正在放棄自流行病開始以來一直宣導的健康警告,讓度假者自己決定上船是
否安全。
游輪運營商對週三的聲明表示歡迎,當時許多人正在考慮暑假計劃。
行業組織表示,美國疾病控制和預防中心的這一舉措證明了船東已經採取所有的健康
措施,包括要求船員和大多數乘客接種疫苗。
CDC刪除了COVID-19"游輪旅行健康通知",該通知於2020年3月在全球幾艘船上爆發病毒後
首次實施。
"雖然巡航總是會帶來一些COVID-19傳播的風險,但旅客在選擇乘坐游輪旅行時會了解
自己所承擔的風險,就像他們在所有其他旅行環境中所做的那樣,"
CDC發言人Dave Daigle在一封電子郵件中說。
戴格爾說,疾病預防控制中心的決定是基於「大流行的當前狀態以及過去幾周游輪上
COVID-19病例的減少」。。
根據約翰霍普金斯大學的數據,自1月中旬以來,美國的COVID-19病例一直在下降,儘管
最近幾周下降速度有所放緩,目前美國每日新病例的七天滾動平均值與兩周前基本持平。
各州已經取消了口罩授權,向聯邦官員施加壓力,要求放寬與病毒有關的限制。
自大流行開始以來,游輪運營商一直抱怨說,他們的行業已被挑選出來關閉,然後比其他
公司(包括航空公司)更嚴格地限制COVID-19。
郵輪國際協會在一份聲明中表示,疾病預防控制中心決定取消其健康警告「承認游輪上有
效的公共衛生措施,並開始在游輪和陸地上類似地點之間創造公平的競爭環境。

想說不知道郵輪股在漲甚麼,沒有東西可以阻止他們漲回接近疫情前的高峰.
查了一下原來是在漲解封概念.
不過這一波的走勢有點兇猛 不知道是不是又有內線在偷買.
