The Diamond Princess cruise ship in quarantine due to fears of the new COVID-19 coronavirus, is seen at the Daikoku Pier Cruise Terminal in Yokohama on February 20, 2020. - Two former passengers of the coronavirus-wracked Diamond Princess have died, local media reported, as fears mount about those who have left the ship after testing negative for the virus.
“I pray for their souls and offer condolences to their bereaved families,” Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told MPs. More passengers left the ship Thursday, packing into yellow buses and leaving for stations and airports to head home.But questions are increasingly being asked as to why former Diamond Princess passengers are able to roam freely around Japan’s famously crowded cities, even if they have tested negative.The paper quoted one passenger who said he was tested on February 15, but only left four days later.
“The cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of infection control,” said Kentaro Iwata in videos he has since deleted, saying “there is no need to discuss this further”.
