Violation: According to the outbreak prevention and response plan, once the vessel reaches 2%, which corresponds to Level 2, the public areas such as corridors were to be continuously sanitized between 6 am and midnight. The Cova Cafe closes at midnight, and the Cosmos Bar is open past midnight. There was no provision in the plan for how frequently the public areas would be sanitized after midnight and before 6 am. According to the staff, when the vessel is in Level 2, the public areas are continuously sanitized until these venues are closed, and then are given a final cleaning once all passengers are cleared from the areas. In addition, there is a night cleaner on duty to sanitize public areas such as restrooms and elevators.
Recommendation: Ensure that when the cumulative proportion of cases of gastrointestinal illness among passengers or crew members is 2%, the infection control response includes cleaning and disinfecting all public areas, including handrails and restrooms, on a continuous basis until the proportion decreases to < 2%.
