People infected with norovirus typically shed “literally billions of viral particles,” said Schaffner, the food safety expert. And it only takes a few viral particles to make someone sick.The first rule should be for sick people to stay home, he said. That’s not possible on a cruise.

If people get sick on a cruise ship, they’re required to report the illness and isolate themselves, but many fail to do so.“You spent all this money for a fancy cruise and you’re feeling a little bit under the weather, so you tough it out,” Schaffner said. “But in the meantime, now you spread the virus.”Passengers should be alert for signs of illness, even in other travelers. Vomit, for instance, can spread norovirus particles into the air, Schaffner noted.

“If you’re in a situation where you see someone vomit, immediately walk away from them, ideally into the wind,” he said.Washing hands frequently is key, especially after using the bathroom or before eating and drinking. Using soap and water is best; wash for at least 20 seconds, scrubbing well. Hand sanitizer alone doesn’t work well against norovirus,

Cruise lines have extensive sanitation protocols in place that are monitored through the CDC’s vessel program, which is paid for by industry through inspection and other fees that total tens of thousands of dollars per ship per year.

It remains to be seen how cuts to the program will affect inspections and outbreak investigations in the future, Schaffner said.Still, John Kirton, a political scientist at the University of Toronto and director of the G7 Research Group, said it was a positive sign that a communiqué had even been issued. “That was in considerable doubt to the very end,” he said.

Yet both Sobel and Kirton noted there was no reference to U.S. budget deficits and their role in the “global imbalances” the ministers seek to combat. The federal budget deficit, by contributing to higher U.S. demand, worsens the U.S. trade deficit that the Trump administration seeks to reduce.The communiqué said that “economic policy uncertainty has declined from its peak,” a view that Kirton said was “puzzling,” given that the U.S. Congress is considering a

this week, pushing up the interest rate on U.S. Treasury securities.“There’s great uncertainty out there in financial markets,” Kirton said. “The
