Masks Returned??

[3Shelaghs]

A transatlantic is currently underway, with mask protocol instituted. But most guests in a quandary, as COVID doesn't seem to be the problem, but Norovirus.

Do they know Norovirus is spread by touch???? They need to be forthcoming with info, rather than left the news to rumours.

[AKJonesy]

I've had NORO a couple of times, and it's contagious by touch.  IDK, maybe the idea is that people will touch their noses or mouth?  LOL.

Not true based on the other topic titled Rotterdam and Masks.

 

Go read that.

 

(The onboard letter referenced Covid as the reason for masking)

 

The previous cruise had Noro and they were delayed boarding so the ship could get extra cleaning.  Thus the false alarm.

Masks do not prevent the transmission of Norovirus.  In fact on my last cruise 2 wks. ago Noro wasn't even mentioned.  It used to be a hot topic with protocols in place.

But most guests

52% of guests?  60% of guest?  50.1% of guests?

or a few that you have spoken with?

might be related to Covid case counts climbing in Europe.

We are on the Rotterdam now and status just changed to 'Masks Recommend'.

I’m on the Nieuw Amsterdam and crew had to all start wearing masks again today after about a week of them not required.
