(Tribune News Service) — Passengers and crew members tested positive for >COVID-19 aboard a 15-day Princess Cruise trip to the Panama Canal that >returned Sunday to the Port of San Francisco.
Those affected aboard the ship the Ruby Princess were either
asymptomatic or showed mild symptoms of COVID-19 and were isolated and >quarantined, Princess Cruises said in a statement. The cruise line did
not say how many guests and crew members tested positive, or at what
point in the trip they did so.
The ship has since departed San Francisco for a 15-day cruise to Hawaii.
The cruise line requires guests to show a negative COVID-19 test and
proof that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before the start
of the trip. Vaccination rates for guests and crew members on the Ruby >Princess were at 100%, Princess Cruises said.
The Port of San Francisco also requires that at least 95% of both
passengers and crew members onboard are vaccinated.
The cruise line said guests with positive test results who had not
completed the required isolation period had returned home or were
provided hotel rooms for isolation and quarantine.
Princess Cruises suspended voyages for more than a year after COVID-19 >outbreaks in 2020. Coronavirus cases remain relatively flat nationwide,
but health experts are concerned about a potential rise linked to the
new BA.2 COVID-19 variant.
The CDC was not immediately available for comment and a dashboard that
tracks ships’ COVID-19 test positivity rates has not been updated since >Thursday.

the U.S. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
