Cruise Health Alert: A suspected norovirus outbreak has hit a cruise ship near Bordeaux, France, after a 92-year-old passenger died; French authorities confined about 1,700 people while samples were collected, and dozens reported vomiting/diarrhea symptoms. Local Response: In the Dominican Republic, health officials say protocols were followed after a separate norovirus outbreak on the Caribbean Princess, with most cases improving and remaining isolated passengers monitored in cabins. Workplace Mental Health: Nearly half of Dominican workers report stress and anxiety tied to psychosocial risks at work, with experts pointing to heavy workloads, weak leadership, low wages, and weak enforcement of mental-health funding. Immigration Enforcement: The DGM warned employers hiring undocumented foreign workers can face fines and must verify legal entry, register workers, and report dismissals. Safety at Sea (Entertainment): Greek reality show Survivor Greece was suspended after contestant Stavros Floros suffered a partial leg amputation in a boating accident off Saona.
