Japanese health officials are now allowing some “medically vulnerable” passengers who have been quarantined on the Diamond Princess to leave the ship and be isolated on land, said Carnival’s Princess Cruises on Thursday.
The passengers will engage in a “voluntary disembarkation” over the next several days while being overseen by Japanese health officials, according to a statement from Princess Cruises. They will then be able to complete their quarantine at a facility near the shore, the company said.
