"Outbreak on Cunard Cruise Ship: Over 100 Passengers Fall Ill"

More than 100 passengers and 15 crew members on the Cunard cruise ship Queen Victoria have fallen ill with gastrointestinal symptoms during a 107-night world voyage. The outbreak, which began on 22 January, has prompted increased cleaning and disinfection measures, as well as isolation of the affected individuals. The cause of the illness is currently unknown, and the CDC is remotely monitoring the situation. This incident follows a similar outbreak on a Celebrity Cruises ship in January, although the CDC notes that such outbreaks are relatively infrequent on cruise ships.
