Thousands of passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess — the single largest cluster of infected people outside China — face several days more of quarantine, with many taking to social media to voice their concerns.
Health Minister Katsunobu Kato said Thursday there were 44 new cases — including one crew member — an additional 221 tests. “If they test negative, those who wish to disembark can go and live in a lodging facility that the government will prepare,” Kato said.“The Ministry of Health has already tested guests 80 years or older who are staying in a cabin without a balcony, and those 80 years or older with chronic medical conditions,” he said.Kato said five people from the ship were in serious condition in the hospital — four who have tested positive for the virus. Test results for the fifth are still being processed.
Officials saying they can only process 300 people a day, but hope eventually to expand this to 1,000.
