As part of its Phased Approach to the
Resumption of Passenger Operations, CDC will collect information
from cruise ships operating or intending to operate in U.S. waters.
This phased approach includes increased reporting of COVID-19 and
COVID-19 like illnesses as well as a number of information
collections designed to ensure cruise ships can prevent, detect,
and respond to outbreaks of COVID-19. This Extension of an existing
Information Collection Request is submitted to allow collection to
continue for an additional three years. The resumption of passenger
voyages in the U.S. has facilitated the introduction and sustained
transmission of COVID-19 among cruise ships, despite high
vaccination rates among both crew and passengers, highlighting the
continued need to temporarily extend CDC’s public health management
to mitigate this risk.
