Ukuhamba ngenqanawa? Ukunciphisa umngcipheko wakho wokugula ngelixa uhamba elwandle oluphezulu, kunqanda ukusebenzisa amagumbi okuhlambela enqanawa, ngokutsho kophononongo lwase-US.
Abaphandi bafumanise ukuba ziipesenti ezingama-37 kuphela zezindlu zangasese ezingama-273 ezikhethwe ngokungenamkhethe kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezazijongwe ngezihlandlo ezili-1,546 zacocwa ubuncinci mihla le, isitulo sendlu yangasese sesona sicociweyo kwizinto ezintandathu ezivavanyiweyo.
Ngamaxesha angama-275 akukho zinto kwindlu yangasese ziye zacocwa ubuncinci iiyure ezingama-24 ngokutshintshwa komntwana iitafile zafunyaniswa iyeyona nto incinci icocwe ngokucokisekileyo.
Kodwa iziphumo zibaleke ngokuchasene nedatha evela kumaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo oluhlala luhlola iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa, ngamanye amaxesha zingachazwanga, ukuqinisekisa ukuba iinqanawa zidibana namanqaku afunekayo okuhlola angama-85.
"Ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa lithatha ucoceko kwiinqanawa zalo kunye nokunciphisa zonke izifo zesisu, kubandakanya i-norovirus, ngokubaluleke kakhulu," latsho iqela lamashishini i-Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) kwingxelo.
I-CLIA ithe uphononongo lwamva nje lococeko kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa alufumananga budlelwane phakathi kokucokisekileyo kwezindlu zangasese zokubulala iintsholongwane kunye nokuqhambuka kokugula kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa.
Kuphononongo, olupapashwe kwijenali yeClinical Infectious Diseases, umphandi uPhilip Carling, weSibhedlele saseCarney eBoston, Massachusetts, kunye noogxa abavela kwiCambridge Health Alliance kunye neTufts University School of Medicine, bathi ukunqongophala kwesibulali ntsholongwane kunokonyusa kakhulu umngcipheko wokugula. .
UCarling uthe izihlalo zangasese zikawonke-wonke kunye nezixhobo zokugungxula, izibambo zezandla kunye nezibambo zocango, izibambo zendlu yangasese yangaphakathi, kunye neetafile zokutshintsha abantwana "uninzi, kodwa ayizizo zonke, iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa" bezingacocwa kwaye zibulawe iintsholongwane ngokucokisekileyo.
"Kwakukho amandla amakhulu okuhlanjwa kwezandla ukuze angcoliseke ngelixa umkhweli ephuma kwigumbi langasese, kuba kuphela iipesenti ezingama-35 zamaqhosha okuphuma kwindlu yangasese okanye ukutsalwa kwakucocwa yonke imihla," utshilo uCarling kwingxelo.
"Kuphela ukucocwa kokubulala iintsholongwane ngabasebenzi benqanawa abanokulindelwa ngokufanelekileyo ukunciphisa le mingcipheko."
UCarling uxelele iReuters Health ukuba abakhweli abahamba ngenqanawa kufuneka banciphise ukusetyenziswa kwendlu yangasese yoluntu, bahlambe izandla ngesepha kunye namanzi kunokuba bahlikihle izandla ezisekwe etywaleni, kwaye balumkele ukusasazeka kwesifo kuyo yonke indawo echukunyiswe esidlangalaleni.
Kuphononongo, iqela likaCarling libhalise iimonitha ezingama-46 ezinezibane ze-ultra-violet ukujonga ii-273 zezindlu zangasese zikawonke-wonke ezikhethwe ngokungenamkhethe yonke imihla ngexesha lokuhamba ngenqanawa phakathi kukaJulayi 2005 noAgasti 2008. Iinqanawa ubukhulu becala zisuka kumazibuko ase-US.
Izihlalo zangasese yayizezona zinto zicocwe kakuhle. Kwizihlalo zangasese ezingama-2,010 ezivavanyiweyo, ezingama-50 ekhulwini ziye zacocwa. Bafumene iipesenti ezingama-42 zezixhobo zokugungxula izindlu zangasese, iipesenti ezingama-37 zeengcango zezindlu zangasese, kunye neepesenti ezingama-31 zeentsimbi zokubamba iintambo ziye zacocwa.
Kuphela iipesenti ezingama-35 zeminyango yangaphakathi yokuhlambela kunye neepesenti ezingama-29 zeetafile zokutshintsha abantwana ziye zacocwa.
