Another 65 people aboard the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship moored off Japan have been diagnosed with novel coronavirus, the health ministry said Monday, bringing the total number of known infections to 135.
In recent days, testing has expanded to those with new symptoms or who had close contact with other infected passengers or crew, and several more cases were reported over the weekend. The ship is expected to stay in quarantine until February 19 — 14 days after the isolation period began.The quarantine has made life on board the ship difficult, particularly for those in windowless interior cabins and a significant number of passengers who require medication for various chronic conditions.
The World Health Organization confirmed in a tweet that newly diagnosed cases on the ship should not extend the length of the quarantine. Onboard the ship, news of the additional infections sparked worry for some, with passenger Yardley Wong tweeting “stress and high anxiety”.Passengers also tweeted pictures of new supplies delivered to the quarantined passengers on Monday: wet wipes and heavy-duty filtration face masks.
