Brazilian authorities reportedly placed an international cruise ship under isolation at a tourist resort when nearly 200 passengers came down with gastrointestinal illness.
The National Health Surveillance Agency, Anvisa, ordered all 1,987 passengers and 765 crew to remain aboard the Vision of the Seas anchored at Buzios while teams of doctors treat the 195 passengers suffering vomiting and diarrhea and determine the cause of their illness, Brazils G1 website reported.
The ship, operated by Royal Caribbean International, had departed the port of Santos on Monday for a four-day tour including scheduled stops in Buzios and Ilhabela.
In January 2009 on a cruise bound for Buenos Aires, 464 people took ill as the ship sailed between Brazil�s northern city Salvador and Rio de Janeiro.
