@kakape is it known how the woman was returning to the Netherlands once she got off the cruise? Or how do they know it’s not likely to spread further or become a pandemic? (Thinking about those 8 weeks the virus needs)

@argentum As J.P. Weiland put it, things spread more easily on cruise ships because it's so dense and enclosed. We see that with norovirus and flu: they can rip thru the whole ship in days. So if this is only spreading a little in the cruise ship, it will probably spread even less in the general population.
