MPs criticise swine flu management

June 3, 2009 - 6:59PM

Authorities have let the community down in the management and communication of swine flu cases, a Liberal senator says.

Specifically under scrutiny is NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant's decision to allow about 1,800 people to leave the Pacific Dawn cruise ship in Sydney on May 25, when swine flu test results for five passengers were still pending.

The Pacific Dawn is not currently quarantined & in my opinion was never quarantined. It was refused permission by the Queensland Goverment to dock, just like the Dawn Princess was refused permission to dock by another local goverment body. Can we please move on.

 

Thanks

A New Zealand woman who boarded the ship in Brisbane last week tested positive for influenza type A - a precursor to swine flu.

A New Zealander on board a cruise ship, due to dock in Auckland tomorrow, has tested positive for influenza A.

The woman joined the P&O cruise ship Pacific Sun in Brisbane on May 27, and three days later developed flu-like symptoms, the Northern Region Health Coordination Centre said in a statement.

The Pacific Dawn is not currently quarantined & in my opinion was never quarantined. It was refused permission by the Queensland Goverment to dock, just like the Dawn Princess was refused permission to dock by another local goverment body.

 

To be quarantined is enforced isolation for health reasons. As such, Pacific Dawn was quarantined at the end and beginning of its last cruise in Sydney, when passengers were unable to board or alight while health assessment was underway.

 

It was again quarantined from land some days later in Queensland as the restriction was applied for health reasons, and those departing in Brisbane were also quarantined for 7 days. Queensland can't tell a ship where it has to go when at sea, but the fact was that it was quarantined from its intended ports and as a result the entire cruise was cut short.

A New Zealand woman on board the Pacific Sun cruise ship, which docked in Auckland on Thursday morning, appeared to have seasonal influenza after testing positive last week for influenza type A.

I wonder if they would let you board if you actually did rock up to the ship dressed like that...or wearing a pig mask :D.

 

 

hey rose, I love trying to look at your pics in your sig but they go a bit too quick. Are you able to slow them down?

Australian health authorities cleared passengers on the Dawn Princess cruise ship of swine flu and said they can disembark when it docks in Sydney tomorrow, as the number of confirmed cases in the country reached 636.

none of the links i posted have anything to do with the people wearing pig noses bad tastes if you cared to read them. and i would do so,as i think that is would be in very bad taste, to post it or even do such a thing as wearing it onto a cruise ship

[thied]

(Children from Victoria are quarantined for the first 3 days and arnd not allowed to associate with other children or passengers) quoted on a thread on here so far P&O have said nothing, and the media have said nothing i wonder why its all been hushed up about this latested report. im not saying its was swine flu and nor did it say that in the quote or well i hope its not any way.

[bobhsv]

Hi Thied,

 

I must admit, to date, I havent been overly interested in this swine flu thing, hoping that it was a short term scenario......but, I too read this elsewhere. I also read that some contacts, not on cruises mind you, but some contacts, are being 'sheltered' for 72 hours, which is the incubation period it seems. Wonder if this explains the 3 day period you are referring to.

 

All I can say is....Come on Summer !!!!

 

Cheers,

Bob and Jen

[thied]

some how i dont think it is short term
