| description | The academic literature has shown that the concentration of people on cruise ships, the crew and passengers potentiate the transmission of diseases. COVID-19 failed to catch companies by surprise, the risk was well known. The Diamond Princess has been pointed out by academic literature as the only cruise ship in which the origin and evolution of the contagion could be mapped. Due to its importance, we can reconstruct what we know about this experience. The present study aims to present arguments on the possibility of contamination of crew and tourists through contagious diseases in cruise ships. The study also aims to analyze the prevention and management measures of the COVID-19 outbreak in Diamond Princess. This study uses the descriptive method and collaborates to understand maritime tourism. |
