LONDON - Britain's Foreign Office said on Tuesday it is working to organise a flight to Japan to evacuate its nationals from a cruise ship hit by the coronavirus.

The Diamond Princess has been anchored off Yokohama, Japan, and has by far the largest cluster of coronavirus cases outside China, with more than 400 people infected out of some 3,700 on board.
