The Church of Scientology cruise ship quarantined in St. Lucia to investigate a possible confirmed case of measles.
The cruise ship quarantined in St. Lucia because of a confirmed case of measles is the Freewinds, which belongs to the Church of Scientology, according to St. Lucia Marine Police.
"Continued surveillance is necessary as the incubation period for measles ranges from 10 to 12 days, before symptoms in exposed persons occur," the health ministry said in its news release Thursday."The ship's doctor requested 100 doses of the measles vaccine and this is currently being provided from our supplies, at no cost."
The Freewinds website describes the ship as"a religious retreat that marks for Scientologists the pinnacle of their journey to total spiritual freedom." She said that her department had learned early Tuesday morning from"two reputable sources" that there had been a case of measles on a cruise ship that had visited St. Lucia.
On Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there had been 704 cases of measles reported nationally so far this year.
