The CDC is requiring all cruise lines to hold simulated journeys to make sure new health and safety measures are effective before they can resume sailing.
Under new rules released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week, ships are required to hold simulated voyages to "test cruise ship operators' ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk."
Volunteers for the mock voyages must be 18 or older and provide a written certification from a healthcare provider that they have no pre-existing medical conditions that could place them at risk of COVID-19, according to the CDC rules.
