We were told by the GM that they believe all positive cases came on with Covid at Fort Lauderdale embarkation and that the antigen test is just a moment in time. People could have contracted it before or after the antigen test while at home or while traveling. He also told us that in 18 months no cases were known to have some from excursions. He said that most people are cautious during excursions and do not go to bars and other places while at port that could cause them to contract Covid. Some people joining us at LA will undoubtedly and unfortunately bring Covid with them but once we are at sea for a few days things should get better. We would like to meet more people on board but are still keeping mostly to ourselves. I feel like things will be much better a few days after Los Angeles. We still love being on the ship and I personally really enjoy just looking at the ocean as we sail.

Travelling on public transport, being in queues and spaces at transport hubs, plus even the act of going to get your pre-travel PCR (depending on where you get it, ie at a dedicated testing center for travel and asymptomatic/well people Vs an urgent care of hospital setting) are the highest risk periods (certainly on a Viking cruise!). About 5-7 days after embarkation and no further positive cases, then the risk is much, much lower as it only comes from port side contact...
