Medical-Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Surveillance Log
|
Violation:
The acute gastroenteritis (AGE) surveillance log for the voyage ending on 16 May 2019 incorrectly populated the last symptom column for a crew reportable case with symptoms onset on 5 May 2019.

Recommendation:
Ensure the AGE surveillance log entry for each passenger or crew member contain the following information in separate columns: (14) date of last symptom; (15) time of last symptom. Ensure the AGE surveillance log contains the above information in the exact order and is entered in the template in Annex 13.2.2.
