From 8 August, unvaccinated children can now board with a negative Covid-19 test
MSC Cruises has announced that it will implement a new wellbeing protocol for its passengers embarking from US ports following a change of health and safety requirements set by the CDC.
The current rules are that all guests who are 12 years and older must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
Two changes will come into effect from 8 August 2022. Unvaccinated children aged two years and older will have to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within three days of embarkation. And fully vaccinated passengers sailing six nights or longer from US ports will have to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within three days of embarkation.
