48 passengers on Royal Caribbean infected with Covid

The Royal Caribbean cruise operator which ended a week-long cruise in Miami on Saturday after setting sail on Dec. 11 had 6,091 guests and crew members on board its Symphony of the Seas cruise ship.
Out of this 48 people tested positive for Covid-19 fueling concerns that the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus could put a damper on a recovery in the cruise industry.
While 95% of the community on board were fully vaccinated, while 98% of those who tested positive were also fully vaccinated, the passengers who tested positive were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, Royal Caribbean said in a statement, adding that six guests were disembarked earlier in the cruise and transported home.
