The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has extended the conditional sail order until January 15, 2022. This means that those who have been ordered to leave by Jan. 13, 2020 will be able to remain in their homes or relocate as long as they continue with treatment either through strict adherence of medication plans from a physician or working closely with behavioral health professionals.
The “cdc no sail order updates” is a recent announcement by the CDC. The agency has extended the conditional sail order until January 15, 2022.
The conditional sailing order (CSO) for cruise ships “with minimal changes” has been extended until January 15, 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Since the CSO was issued, cruise companies have devised and implemented health and safety policies to handle COVID-19 and have resumed sailing.” CDC has extended the CSO till January 15, 2022 to guarantee safe sailing during COVID-19,” the agency tweeted on Oct. 25, 2021.

The current CSO will end on November 1, 2021.
What’s Hot Right Now
After Jan. 15, the CDC plans to convert to a voluntary program “in conjunction with cruise ship operators and other stakeholders, to help the cruise ship industry in detecting, mitigating, and controlling the spread of COVID-19 aboard cruise ships,” according to the CDC.
According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the move demonstrated that the industry had succeeded in preventing COVID-19 transmission.
“The adjustments made today reflect that the Biden Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledge the cruise industry’s successful return of operations.” In this last phase of the CSO, we look forward to proving the industry’s continuous leadership and ensuring a seamless transition when the Order expires on January 15, 2022,” CLIA stated in a statement. “The cruise industry’s strategy to monitoring, detecting, and responding to possible COVID-19 incidents is unusual. As a consequence, CLIA-member ocean-going cruise ships now have among of the highest COVID-19 mitigation standards of any industry.”
This temporary extension, according to the CDC, “leaves major provisions of the previous CSO unchanged, with only minor modifications to incorporate changes in technical instructions made based on discussions and feedback from cruise ship operators and announced through ‘Deal Colleague’ communications to industry partners.” As a result, as compared to the prior CSO, CDC does not see this temporary extension as putting any additional duties or requirements on cruise ship operators.”
After most cruise companies and CLIA voluntarily agreed to cease cruise operations from U.S. ports for 30 days, the CDC issued the first no-sail order on March 14, 2020. It was extended three times until a Framework for Conditional Sailing Order was issued on Oct. 30, 2020, and it was changed twice before cruise ships started performing test trips or required 95 percent of passengers and personnel to be vaccinated.
In late May 2021, the CDC started permitting test voyages.
The “royal caribbean” is a cruise line that has announced that they are extending their conditional sail order until January 15, 2022. The company wants to avoid the crowded season and instead focus on the winter months.
