Auf dem Hurtigruten-Schiff „Roald Amundsen“ hat ein CoV-Ausbruch die hektische Suche nach mehreren hundert Menschen nach sich gezogen. Viele Passagiere hatten das Schiff bereits verlassen, bevor erste Besatzungsmitglieder positiv getestet wurden. Das Schiff liegt nun vor Tromso isoliert vor Anker. Norwegens Gesundheitsminister Bent Hoie warnt vor „Testscham“.

The Diamond Princess cruise ship was put under quarantine offshore Yokohama, Japan, after a passenger who disembarked in Hong Kong was confirmed as a coronavirus disease 2019 case. We performed whole-genome sequencing of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) directly from PCR+ clinical specimens and conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the outbreak. All tested isolates exhibited a transversion at G11083T, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 dissemination on the Diamond Princess originated from a single introduction event before the quarantine started. Although further spreading might have been prevented by quarantine, some progeny clusters could be linked to transmission through mass-gathering events in the recreational areas and direct transmission among passengers who shared cabins during the quarantine. This study demonstrates the usefulness of haplotype network/phylogeny analysis in identifying potential infection routes.
