"Hundreds on QE2 hit by stomach bug"
Do you now what it is about ??if you do write and information
More than 300 passengers and crew on the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 have caught the highly infectious norovirus during a world cruise.
In what health officials have called an unusually large outbreak, nearly 17 per cent of the 1,652 predominantly American passengers on the Cunard Line’s flagship were confined to their cabins for two or three days by the bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.The ship left Southampton on January 2 and called at New York six days later, where she picked up new passengers. Medical staff had dealt with 276 sick passengers and 28 crew by the time she docked in San Francisco on Wednesday.
American officials from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) boarded the QE2 to investigate the outbreak and certified that emergency sanitation measures carried out by the crew were satisfactory.
