Captain of Queen Elizabeth announced ac ouple of days ago that there had been 'an uptick in covid cases' and that masks would be a good idea. Well, things got serious quickly as he announced yesterday that the advice from their land-based health team was that masks must be made compulsory immediately. Crew have all been wearing masks since we boarded on the 14th February with varying degrees of commitment to covering their noses. Anyway, there are still some hold-outs amongst passengers but most have complied and staff are enforcing compliance in the buffet, at least. Most passengers will disembark on Monday, 27th in Melbourne although some will get off in Sydney tomorrow and there are quite a few on board who are going on to Singapore (and probably beyond).

 

The ship appears to be listed still as tier one on the NSW site.

This Covid is going to be around for quite some time yet - with or without mask wearing.
