On Monday, 66 more people aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship,
quaranteed off Yokohama, tested positive for Wuhan coronavirus.
That almost doubles the known cases, bringing the total to 136. There
are 3,600 people aboard the cruise ship. But only 336 have been
tested so far. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Monday
that it might be difficult to test everyone aboard the ship.
The Diamond Princess departed Yokohama on January 20 and returned on
February 3 after visiting Kagoshima, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan and
Okinawa. The ship was put under quarantine on February 3. The
quarantine is scheduled to end on February 19, but the surge in new
cases puts that date in doubt.
Another cruise ship, the U.S.-operated Ocean Dream, is set to dock at
Yokohama on Saturday and Kobe on Sunday.
