A panel of three federal court judges on Friday denied an appeal from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), allowing a previous order to stand that prevents the agency from enforcing cruise ship rules related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In court documents filed on Friday, the court said the CDC had “failed to demonstrate an entitlement to a stay pending appeal.”
The CDC had filed a motion for a stay pending appeal near the start of July in which it argued “unregulated cruise ship operations would exacerbate the spread of COVID-19.”
The appeals court had sided with the CDC earlier this month, blocking a ruling from Judge Steven Merryday of the Middle District of Florida that prohibited the agency from enforcing coronavirus rules on cruise ships.
However, the court on Friday vacated its previous order in which it sided with the CDC.
