THE United States’ Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) is urging all travellers to avoid cruising, regardless of vaccination status.
The CDC raised its travel health notice to the highest level on Fri, reflecting the increase in COVID-19 cases on board cruise ships due to the Omicron variant.
