Abstract
Epidemiological patterns of infectious disease spread in small, closed groups and isolated communities are crucial for understanding the specifics of medical care for workers on board ships. This case of a cluster of COVID-19 cases among the crew of an ocean-going merchant vessel reveals the limitations of current knowledge regarding the epidemiological patterns of the spread of this dangerous infection, demonstrates the tentativeness of known markers of human resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and confirms the importance of quarantine and restrictive measures in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
