But now, they are all suspects for Covid-19. And without testing for the same, we just don't know.
In the past, cruise ships off-loaded ill patients for many reasons. It didn't stop the cruise.
Now, off-load a patient and you have to wait for confirmation that he/she isn;'t infected or you shut down the cruise altogether. That isn't a business model that I would want to operate under.
