Ten people from a cruise ship that’s currently quarantined off the coast of Japan tested positive for the coronavirus that has sickened numerous people across China and elsewhere, said Japanese health officials.
Japan’s health minister, Katsunobu Kato, said Wednesday that the 10 people who were on the Diamond Princess were taken to a medical facility for isolation. The ship, with 3,700 people on board, was kept in quarantine after an 80-year-old passenger from Hong Kong was found to have contracted the virus, Kyodo News reported.
