Al treilea focar de norovirus în mai puțin de două luni pe aceeași navă de croazieră. Zeci de pasageri s-au îmbolnăvit

A cruise ship in Alaska faces its third gastrointestinal illness outbreak in two months, with nearly a third of passengers showing symptoms of norovirus. Health authorities are investigating the cause, which remains undetermined. The CDC reported the outbreak on July 12 aboard the National Geographic Sea Bird, where 18 of 62 passengers experienced symptoms like vomiting and abdominal cramps. Affected individuals were isolated, and cleaning protocols were intensified. This incident follows two previous outbreaks on the same ship, with norovirus confirmed as the cause. Norovirus is highly contagious and thrives in closed environments like cruise ships, prompting health officials to recommend strict hygiene measures.
