U.S. cruise ships see norovirus outbreaks surge amid sanitation program cuts.
Recently, there has been a significant rise in norovirus outbreaks on U.S. cruise ships, with 16 outbreaks reported so far this year, mainly due to a new strain called GII.17.
This is up from 18 in 2024 and 14 in 2023.
The surge coincides with government cuts to the Vessel Sanitation Program, which conducts inspections and investigates illnesses on ships.
Norovirus, highly contagious and causing symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, can be dangerous for those with health issues, young children, and older adults.
Passengers are advised to wash hands frequently, avoid touching their faces, and consume only well-cooked foods to prevent infection.
