British couple quarantined on cruise ship diagnosed with coronavirus

Business minister Kwasi Kwarteng said he understood Mr and Mrs Abel had been quarantined by Japanese authorities

On Mr and Mrs Abel, Mr Kwarteng added:"It will be terrifying and very frightening but I think where they are is [with] the Japanese authorities. My understanding [is they] have essentially quarantined them and are looking after them." More than 70 British nationals have faced an anxious wait to find out whether they will be evacuated from the cruise liner.The Foreign Office had come under increasing pressure to bring them home after theto repatriate 340 of its citizens - 14 of whom had been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

A total of 542 people have tested positive since the cruise liner was ordered to stay under quarantine on 3 February.A number of contingency plans have been put in place for a potential outbreak in the UK "I suspect people were not as isolated from other people as we would have thought," said Dr. Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia.

Awww bless. I’m crying for you.

Were they expecting to run about infecting us at home?

People getting their preparation in for a nice compensation case...

Oh dear.......really You may have a virus that could infect others How about thinking about that

I'm sure you must understand that if your going to cruise into foreign waters knowing what it's like, don't be upset if you don't get your own way, after your jollies and holidays, just stay put and ride out the storm, you are at sea, your choice!
