MANILA - The Philippines will bring home hundreds of Filipino crew members of a quarantined cruise ship moored off Japan, the country's labor minister said Sunday.
The ministry has so far tested a total of 1,219 people aboard the ship, which currently houses about 3,400 passengers and crew while docked at Yokohama Port. The crew, Bello said, continue to receive pay while under quarantine, and will also get the "usual reintegration" assistance from government. The Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said it has been focusing so far on testing people aged 70 and older and will focus on testing those younger than 70 from around Sunday.
