Same would hold true for passengers.True, but unless the virus is at zero all over Australia and NZ by then the crew are going to need to be tested again every time they go ashore (which isn't even realistic, feasible or going to detect the virus straightaway) or they're going to have to be banned from going ashore at all, anywhere, even just for a few minutes, which is cruel. (Although 18 hour work days 7 days per week and living 4 people to an inside crew cabin below the waterline is already pretty cruel).
If they wait for there to be no virus in Aus/NZ then cruising won’t commence for a long long time. Seems to be a circular argument with no solution at present that doesn’t have some degree of risk.
