From the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Please be aware of the importance of isolating crew members with suspected communicable diseases and follow-up medical surveillance of crew remaining on board or having recently disembarked. As noted in the post, vessels should be aware of the reporting requirements when approaching a port. We recommend carrying an antiviral medication in the ship’s medical chest such as acyclovir or valcyclovir for the treatment of Shingles caused by the varicella virus and herpes outbreaks caused by Human Simplex Virus (HSV) I or II. Please contact us for more information.
