🎉Big win for portside communities today w/ @EPA's authorization for @AirResources At-Berth Rule! Ships will need to plug into shorepower at CA ports & reduce cancer-causing pollution. These emission reductions will save 230 lives! #PollutionFreePorts
The @CDCgov revealed that 73 (66 passengers & 7 crew members) on @VirginVoyages Scarlet Lady reported being ill during the #cruise that ended in Miami on Friday, with complaints of abdominal cramps, vomiting & diarrhea. cruiselawnews.com/2023/10/articl… The CDC has not determined the “causative agent” for this most recent outbreak. Norovirus is listed as the causative agent in all other 13 cruise ship outbreaks this year. Norovirus is the usual cause of gastrointestinal illnesses on cruise ships and is commonly the cause of outbreaks in nursing homes, hospitals and daycare facilities. According to the CDC and FDA, the most likely cause for cruise ship GI outbreaks is contaminated water or food.
