THE US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has again lowered its cruise travel advice level, from Level 3: High to Level 2: Moderate.
It is the third major change this year, after last month’s lowering from Level 4: Very High to Level 3, and Jan’s expiration of the Temporary Extension & Modification of Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.
According to the CDC, the change “represents the status of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time,” with the agency still recommending passengers be tested, wear masks in crowded outdoor settings and be fully vaccinated.
The key indicator for CDC’s advisory decisions in relation to cruise ships operating in US waters is cumulative new COVID-19 cases among crew.
Full details of the policy, including why the CDC has a separate health notice for cruise ships but not other travel and entertainment settings, are online at cdc.gov.
