THE Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) last week lowered its COVID-19 Level for cruise ship travel from 4 to 3.
The change represents a switch in CDC advice from “avoid travel” to “make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel”, and “unvaccinated travellers should avoid all non-essential travel”.
The CDC also advises those who decide to go on a cruise to get tested 24 to 72 hours prior to their trip, and three to five days after.
In addition, the CDC is advising passengers who are not fully vaccinated to self-quarantine for seven days after cruise travel, even if they test negative.
If they do not get tested, they should self-quarantine for 10 days after cruise travel.
The CDC typically determines the level for COVID-19 travel health notices monthly, and in May amended its guidelines for masks on cruise ships, with guests able to remove facial coverings in outdoor areas so long as they are vaccinated (CW 17 May).
