MS Zaandam, which is carrying 1,243 passengers and 586 crew members, reported that 13 of its passengers and 29 crew have influenza-like symptoms.
As informed, all ill persons have been isolated and their close contacts placed in quarantine.
“Since it is flu season, and COVID-19 testing is not available on board, it is difficult to determine the cause of these elevated cases at this time,” the cruise line said in a statement.
