Overview
- Authorities report 95 of 2,007 passengers (4.8%) and 6 of 640 crew have had confirmed illness since the voyage began.
- AIDA says the tally is cumulative rather than simultaneous and indicates the number of active cases is declining.
- The line has isolated sick individuals, conducted testing with stool samples, and intensified cleaning and disinfection per protocol.
- The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program is monitoring the response remotely following a Nov. 30 report and a Dec. 4 public notice.
- The vessel is transiting the Panama Canal toward Pacific ports, and U.S. reporting rules apply after recent calls that trigger alerts at roughly a 3% symptomatic threshold.
