| 摘要： | In the United States, inland and near-shore cruising returned to the inland waterways and coastal waters last spring and summer, with blue water cruises returning to some ports late in the summer or fall. Now, however, with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its Travel Health Notice level for cruise ship travel. Previously, the CDC gave cruise ship travel a Level 3 warning, meaning a high risk of COVID-19. The new guidance, announced December 30, 2021, moved that to a Level 4 warning-its highest such warning. "Avoid cruise travel, regardless of vaccination status," the CDC warned. "Even fully vaccinated travelers may be a risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants." Elsewhere, the agency stated, "The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships, and the chance of getting COVTD-19 on cruise ships is very high, even if you are fully vaccinated and have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose." The announcement from the CDC came after several cruise ships reported outbreaks of COVID-19 aboard cruise ships, despite requirements that passengers and crew members be vaccinated and obtain a negative test prior to boarding. |
