On the evening of December 27, local time, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report saying that at least 75 cruise ships have outbreaks of the new crown epidemic, and the department is investigating, observing and monitoring them.

The report shows that the CDC is currently investigating the spread of the epidemic on 36 vessels, and another 32 vessels have been completed and are under further observation. In addition, the CDC is closely monitoring seven other vessels and may launch an investigation into them at any time. However, the report does not indicate the number of infections on each vessel and the timing of the outbreak.

According to reports, if a vessel has 0.1% or more of passengers diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 7 days, or if there is at least one confirmed case among its staff, the CDC will launch an investigation into it.

In its report, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also highlighted that the prevention and control of the epidemic is extremely difficult given that people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 are extremely susceptible to infection with the Omilon strain.
