Infection control plans are important, especially now. Having an effective plan in the event of an emergency is of paramount importance.
Officials detained a cruise ship after fear the 2019-nCoV Coronavirus had spread. Thus, the escalation of the disease has forced all businesses to enact efficient and effective infection control plans.
Health officials quarantined 6,000 people on the cruise ship as a result of the knowledge one passenger was potentially carrying the disease. The cruise ship had major ramifications after this incident. The passengers had to stay on board for another day. Also, they had to wait until officials diagnosed the woman with just the flu.
The World Health Organization has designated 2019-nCoV a global health crisis, making the cruise ship’s actions even more important. Implementing successful infection control plans are even more important in this day and age. Because of all the travel, both in the air and on the sea, diseases like coronavirus spread like never before.
