Suspected Norovirus outbreak on cruise ship
Almost 100 passengers have become sick during a suspected Norovirus outbreak aboard the Celebrity Infinity.
Officials from the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) said 95 out of the more than 2,000 passengers, along with five crew members, have been struck down with a gastrointestinal illness.
The CDC website is still listing the cause of the outbreak as ‘unknown’ until a team of inspectors board the ship on its return to San Diego later today.
Celebrity crew have beefed up cleaning and disinfection procedures on board to stem the spread of the virus.
The ship is on a 15-day Panama Canal cruise which left Fort Lauderdale on March 29.
This is the ship’s third incident in a decade, with previous outbreaks in 2006 and 2013.
