Coronavirus: US To Evacuate Americans On Cruise Ship

Jumbo jets arrived to evacuate US citizens from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, with people quarantined onboard due to fears of the new COVID-19 coronavirus, at the Haneda airport in Tokyo on February 16, 2020. Kazuhiro NOGI / AFPAmericans will be removed from a cruise ship quarantined off Japan and flown home, the US embassy said Saturday as dozens of more cases of the new coronavirus were diagnosed on board.

The embassy warned that those who come back will have to undergo another 14 days of quarantine when they arrive in the United States. “Should you choose not to return on this charter flight, you will be unable to return to the United States for a period of time,” it warned. “The U.S. Government… wants to take us off without testing, fly us back to the U.S. with a bunch of other untested people, and then stick us in 2 more weeks of quarantine? How does that make any sense at all?”There were more than 3,700 people on the ship when it arrived off the Japanese coast in early February. It was placed in quarantine after a passenger who disembarked in Hong Kong tested positive for the newly named COVID-19.
