The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that as of Monday, its COVID-19 program for cruise ships is no longer in effect, and the agency will no longer share each ship’s COVID status with the public.
COVID outbreaks spreadCruise lines participating in the CDC program also had to sign agreements with the port communities they visit. The agreements lay out more protocols for reducing risk and managing outbreaks, with an eye on the impact that outbreaks could have on those communities. For example, the port agreements in Southeast Alaska say cruise passengers or crew members requiring hospitalization from COVID are supposed to go to Seattle for treatment.
In Juneau, Deputy City Manager Robert Barr learned about the CDC’s change after a KTOO reporter called seeking comment. Barr wasn’t certain but says he thinks the port agreements will remain in effect.that the reaction on its message boards was mostly positive, and that Cruise Line International Association welcomed the development.I dig into questions about the forces and institutions that shape Juneau, big and small, delightful and outrageous.
