The Centre for Health Protection stated that the patient had no symptoms and tested negative after admission and tested positive for antibodies. After reviewing the case’s epidemiological data and laboratory results, the center concluded that the case was coincident with the Fuyang case.
The staff of the Centre for Health Protection have boarded the cruise ship to inspect the sanitary conditions. The epidemiological investigation and follow-up of the case are still in progress. The center is arranging close contacts of the case to undergo compulsory quarantine at the quarantine center. At the same time, the cruise ship has been included in the mandatory testing announcement. Anyone who has been on the cruise ship for more than two hours between September 30 and October 21 (including crew members who are not close contacts of the case) must undergo mandatory testing. For the sake of caution, the center has also asked the cruise ship to suspend its voyage for 21 days. The cruise ship will be able to receive passengers again on November 11.
Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line stated that it has been cooperating closely with the Hong Kong government since Hong Kong opened up cruise ships to cruise on the high seas, and abided by local epidemic prevention policies and regulations during the resumption of cruises.
