Tiivistelmä
The recently ended COVID-19 pandemic made the world to turn back to infectious diseases, their control and prevention. Almost all industries and spheres of daily living have been greatly affected, but tourism was one of the couple industries that suffered the most due to the closed borders and months’- long restrictions. As Finland is a maritime country with multiple ports, cruise ship travelling between the neighbouring countries is essential part of daily living for many.
The aim of this project thesis was to create an evidence-based digital booklet about infection prevention on cruise ships for the crews working on board, so the risk of infectious disease outbreak would be minimized. The digital- booklet contains summarized information from different research papers about infection outbreaks on cruise ships and from guidelines provided by WHO, IMO, CDC and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
