Biosafety Trust Certification is an innovative certification scheme for the prevention and control of the spread of infections. It has been developed by the Italian Naval Register (RINA), an independent body that deals with certification and safety in maritime and other settings. This new certification provides a set of best practices to help minimize the risks of spreading epidemics in crowded public and private spaces such as public transport, entertainment venues (restaurants, theaters, gyms, museums, swimming pools), accommodation facilities (hotels, cruise ships, congress centers), retirement and care homes. Costa is the first cruise company to have obtained this important certification to safeguard the health of its guests and crew.
