Atlanta, GA (CNN) – Cruise ship operators may begin simulated voyages with volunteer passengers, according to an order from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The guidelines are a new phase in the CDC’s Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, released in October as a phased approach for preventing Covid-19 transmission aboard cruise ships and eventually resuming cruises with paying passengers.
The instructions include eligibility and requirements for conducting a trial voyage, which would help prepare for future restricted passenger voyages, and guide cruise ship inspection on those voyages.
No one was hurt in the crash, according to Richmond police.
Officers received a call about the struck 18-wheeler minutes before the crash, which was caught on camera.
Authorities expected the crossing to be closed for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess left behind.
