Violation:
During dry dock, a contractor's acute gastroenteritis (AGE) symptoms began at 0730 on 08 December 2022, but they did not report to medical until 1000 on 11 December 2022. The contractor experienced nine episodes of vomiting and one episode of diarrhea. The contractor self-isolated in their cabin after symptom onset, but their roommate continued to sleep in the room. A food/health questionnaire was not completed due to a language barrier.

Recommendation:
Distribute questionnaires detailing activities and meal locations for the 72 hours before illness onset to all passengers and crew members who are AGE CASES. Ensure that the self-administered questionnaires contain all of the data elements that appear in the questionnaire found in Annex 13.2.2. Ensure that completed questionnaires are maintained with the AGE surveillance log. When any crew member (food or nonfood employee) meets the case definition for AGE, take the following actions for the asymptomatic cabin mates or immediate contacts of symptomatic crew: (1) restrict exposure to symptomatic crew member(s); (2) undergo a verbal interview with medical or supervisory staff, who will confirm their condition, provide facts and a written fact sheet about hygiene and handwashing, and instruct them to report immediately to medical if they develop illness symptoms; (3) complete a verbal interview daily with medical or supervisory staff until 48 hours after the ill crew members? symptoms began. Ensure that the first verbal interview is conducted within 8 hours from the time the ill crew member initially reported to the medical staff. If the asymptomatic immediate contact or cabin mate is at work, ensure that he or she is contacted by medical or supervisory staff as soon as possible. Document the date and time of verbal interviews.
An immediate contact is someone sharing a cabin either full-time or part-time or sharing a cabin?s bathroom facilities. This includes boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, and significant others. Ensure to document if the symptomatic crew member has or not cabin mate(s) or other immediate contact(s).
