Self-Quarantine Notice for Nile River Cruise Passengers
Harris County Public Health (HCPH), Houston Health Department, and Fort Bend County Health and Human Services ask any local residents who recently traveled to Egypt and took a Nile River cruise to immediately self-quarantine for 14 days and contact their local health department.
On March 5, 2020 the M.S. A’sara cruise traveling to and from Aswan, Egypt was quarantined due to COVID-19 exposure. Local health department officials are proactively seeking M.S. A’sara passengers, from the Greater Houston area, who traveled on the cruise line from February 12 to March 5, 2020 because they may have been exposed to COVID-19 (only passengers on the M.S. A’sara cruise need to contact their local health department).
