A 40-year-old crew member of the cruise ship "Ocean Spectrum" tested positive yesterday (21st) and was suspected of being a Fuyang case. The incident forced the cancellation of the cruise’s "High Seas Tour" activity and 1,000 passengers who had already boarded had to disembark. The cruise ship is still at anchor and is expected to resume sailing next Thursday (28th).
However, the cruise ship still failed to obtain the test results within two days, and allowed a new batch of passengers to board the ship after the test results of all the staff were not obtained. The passengers who had stayed on the cruise ship were free to leave. Sin

1) The test results of all employees have not been detected within two days of sampling
The Ocean Spectrum under Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line was originally scheduled to sail yesterday (21st), but a crew member was diagnosed with preliminary diagnosis and the voyage was cancelled.
In the evening, the government gazetted a suspected case of rejuvenation involving cruise ship employees. However, the results with positive samples were taken for testing on the 19th of this month. At present, most of the nucleic acid test reports are within one day. The result was obtained, but the problem was discovered only after the passengers boarded the ship yesterday, the second day of the test, and there was a procedural error.
2) Passengers are allowed to board the ship without test results
At present, if the staff on the cruise ship are found, they should not be allowed to board the ship if they fail to get all negative results. However, before the staff’s diagnosis was found at 4 pm yesterday, as many as 1,000 passengers had already boarded and moved freely. For eating in the restaurant, the cruise ship underestimated the risks.
3) Allow passengers who have boarded for more than two hours to leave freely
In addition, many of the 1,000 passengers who have boarded the ship, many of whom have stayed on the ship for more than two hours, but can still board the ship and go home on their own after discovering the case of Fuyang. They will not be used for any quick test or inspection procedures. In order to confirm the case, the risk is higher, whether there are loopholes in the treatment.

Respiratory system specialist Liang Zichao said frankly that with the current detection technology, the results should be obtained within a few hours after sampling, and no reply within two days is absolutely unsatisfactory. The best way for the shipping company is to arrange for the crew to conduct the test in the morning and obtain the results within the same day. The result is better.
Liang Zichao: No results in two days are not satisfactory, and one inspection on seven days is better
The shipping company currently conducts tests for the crew on board every 14 days. Liang Zichao believes that the crew has been vaccinated. If they are diagnosed, they may not be asymptomatic. If they are infected with a variant virus, there is a certain risk. In addition, the crew will come into contact with a large number of people, and the risk is still high. Ideally, it should be changed to once every 7 days at most, which is safer. "While relying on passengers to find confirmed cases, too many people are involved and the risk increases. If possible, less than once every 7 days is better."
In addition, the crew member has a high chance of being a case of rejuvenation, and the amount of virus transmitted is relatively low. The risk to citizens who have already boarded the ship may not be too great. However, it is emphasized that the next seven days are the "critical time". A one-week test showed a positive case, and it was a confirmed case with a higher virus load, and the risk increased. If more passengers board the ship after the voyage is resumed next week, it will be very dangerous.
