As passengers scatter back to their home communities, health authorities face the ancient challenge of containing what has already begun to move.

Consumers may reduce cruise bookings and travel plans due to disease transmission concerns, leading to decreased discretionary spending on vacation travel and increased demand for travel insurance with disease coverage.
Potential regulatory responses include enhanced health screening protocols for cruise passengers, stricter quarantine procedures, increased CDC oversight of cruise operations, and possible mandatory disease surveillance reporting requirements for cruise lines.
