A Norwegian cruise ship line halted all trips and apologized Monday for procedural errors after an outbreak of coronavirus on one ship infected at least four passengers and 36 crew members.
The 40 people on the MS Roald Amundsen who tested positive have been admitted to the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromso, north of the Arctic Circle, where the ship currently is docked. “A preliminary evaluation shows that there has been a failure in several of our internal procedures,” Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam said in a statement.
But since the cruise line often acts like a local ferry, stopping in at port after port along Norway’s western coast, the coronavirus may not have been contained onboard. Some passengers disembarked along the route and may have spread the coronavirus to their local communities.
Went on a cruise during a pandemic? I don’t care about any passengers that got it. I just feel bad for stafff.
We gone back to the beginning! LMAO
So, what's the urge to get on a cruise? What's the urge to go on vacation? What's the urge to leave home?
Wtf, there are still cruise ships running AYFKM!?!?!
Norway’s cases had been close to zero. For them, 40 cases is an outbreak. Apparently, in the US, we’ve decided that 4 million cases is a good time to re-open schools.
That's what you get.. enjoy the virus
The biggest mistake being sailing at all?
Our species is showing how we adapt.
People still go on cruises ? GOW STUPID !!!!
TitanNetwork What part of stay the hell home do these people NOT understand?
Anyone who decides to go on a cruise during a global pandemic and gets sick does not any sympathy from me.
Good morning! How do I wrap my mind around this one?
Mickie_in_HD Cruises...ugh
Lack of sympathy for passengers rivals contempt for cruise line and disgust with ruling bodies.
How stupid do you have to be to take a cruise during a global pandemic? This is just natural selection at this point.
Cruise ships should just be docked hotels. Stop this nonsense. Especially for right now.
