CDC says coronavirus survived in Princess Cruise ship cabins for up to 17 days
- Havoc 7y agoDamn. That will significantly lengthen any sort of quarantine I suspect.
- NullPrefix 7y agoQuarantine as in quaranta giorni?
- tartoran 7y agoThis is not conclusive yet but yes, this is going to take more than a few weeks and will be quite a disaster in some areas...
- robocat 7y agoWould asymptomatic crew be a more likely vector between the voyages? This is a respiratory disease: don’t ignore touch as a vector but surely the vast majority of transmission is via the air?
- aschla 7y agoFrom the report: “SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess...” Presence of RNA does not necessarily mean it’s a viable virus.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces ... I guess we don't know from this data whether these are fragments or are intact and communicable?
