The number of people infected with the deadly new coronavirus on a quarantined ship off Japan has risen to 355, the country’s health minister said Sunday, as the United States, Canada and Hong Kong prepare to repatriate their residents on board.
The ship was carrying more than 3,700 passengers and crew from more than 50 countries and territories when it docked and was placed in isolation after authorities found a passenger who got off in Hong Kong during the voyage had tested positive for the virus. An on-board announcement late Sunday said Americans choosing to leave should get ready, according to tweets from passengers.
Hong Kong has also said it will offer its 330 city residents onboard the chance to take a charter flight back. But the health ministry said Saturday that passengers older than 70 are being examined and those testing negative and in good health will be allowed to leave the ship from Wednesday.
