Tuesday, August 29, 2023

BUSAN, South Korea, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected human lives and the global economy. In particular, cruise ship companies around the world are among the worst hit industries, with ships becoming a hotbed of viral infection owing to their confined environment. With the economy slowly recovering in the post COVID-19 period, ship companies hope to return to normal operations by adopting a sustainable management model that prioritizes the health of ship passengers.

Key Points: 
  • Tracking and physical isolation of infected passengers remains the standard protocol for preventing the spread of virus.
  • Unfortunately, an effective identification of individuals in close contacts, who have potentially been exposed to the virus and can spread it, remains challenging.
  • The researchers next conducted close contact tracing experiments on the HANNARA ship, a training vessel for KMOU.
  • Furthermore, CCIA also enhances the capabilities of user devices such as smartphones in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
