Norovirus Hits Two Alaska Cruise Ships | Anchorage News
Description
Two cruise ships in Southeast Alaska are battling norovirus outbreaks — the Ruby Princess with over 100 sick passengers and 24 crew, and the smaller National Geographic Sea Bird, which is hit for the second time this year. This stomach bug thrives in crowded spaces and spreads fast. Experts say the best defense? Handwashing and disinfecting. If you’re sick, stay home. The CDC urges passengers to report symptoms and keep clean — both ships are headed back to Juneau next month, fingers crossed for a clean ship by then.
