Covid-19 Outbreaks Are Being Investigated By The CDC On 86 Cruise Liners


The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating at least 86 cruise ships for Covid-19 infections, while another three are being monitored after positive cases were reported onboard.

According to the CDC's website, 86 ships are under investigation for coronavirus outbreaks with a yellow status, while three ships have an orange status, meaning they have recorded Covid-19 cases on board but do not satisfy the agency's criteria for investigation at this time.

Under the CDC standards, cruise ships with a yellow status must meet at least one of the following criteria: "at or above the investigation threshold for crew COVID-19 cases; at or above the investigation level for guest COVID-19 cases."

There are no ships in the red status area, defined as "at or above the CDC investigation level for passenger and crew" by the CDC.

According to the CDC, the color-coding scheme is for foreign-flagged cruise ships operating in US waters.
