In the coronavirus outbreak, tens of thousands of crew members have been trapped for weeks aboard dozens of cruise ships around the world.
Carolina Vásquez lost track of days and nights, unable to see the sunlight while stuck for two weeks in a windowless cruise ship cabin as a fever took hold of her body.
Both national and local governments have stopped crews from disembarking in order to prevent new cases of COVID-19 in their territories. Some of the ships, including 20 in U.S. waters, have seen infections and deaths among the crew. But most ships have had no confirmed cases.
As coronavirus cases and deaths have risen worldwide, the CDC and health officials in other countries have expanded the list of conditions that must be met before crews may disembark.Cruise companies must take each crew member straight home via charter plane or private car without using rental vehicles or taxis.
For 21 hours a day, Mann remained isolated in a 150-square-foot cruise cabin that is smaller than her bedroom in her Midland, Ga., home. She read 30 books and was able to leave her room only three times a day to walk around the ship. Her contract ended April 18, so she was not paid for weeks.“Keeping me in close captivity for so long is absolutely ridiculous,” Mann said in a telephone interview.
“He is getting discouraged. He is stuck in a cabin,” Prasad said. “It is not good for his mental health.”Angela Savard, a spokeswoman for Canada’s foreign affairs, said the government was continuing to explore options to bring Canadians home. Usme refused. The boat anchored in the port of Montevideo on March 27. More than half of its passengers and crew tested positive for the coronavirus. Finally, on April 10, 127 passengers, including some who were infected, were allowed to disembark and fly home to Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada and Europe. Crew members were told to stay on board.The doctor was hospitalized in an intensive care unit in Montevideo, along with a Filipino crew member, who later died.
