Virus Latest: —Hundreds of passengers have begun leaving the Diamond Princess cruise ship after their two-week quarantine in Japan ended. —New virus cases in China continued to fall, with 1,749 new infections and 136 new deaths announced.

An unidentified passenger is surrounded by the media after he disembarked from the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020, in Yokohama, near Tokyo. Passengers tested negative for COVID-19 started disembarking Wednesday.

Many foreign governments say they won’t let in passengers from the ship until they have another quarantine period, so it was striking to see passengers disembark, get into taxis and disappear into Yokohama. He said the plan was approved by experts at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. Passengers are only asked to watch their health conditions carefully for a few days and notify local health authorities if they have any symptoms or worries, he said.

Crew members, who couldn’t be confined to their rooms over the last two weeks because they were working, are expected to stay on the ship.

Does anyone honestly believe China's claim on the number infected/dead?

Japan confirms 99 more cases of new virus on cruise shipJapanese officials have confirmed 99 more people have been infected by the new COVID-19 virus, caused by the virus that emerged in China late last year, aboard the quarantined cruise ship Diamond Princess, bringing the total to 454. COVID 19 is the sickness called. Not the virus you genius. The censorship and cover up from ccp delayed the precaution measures, which led to disasters like this. ChinesePneumonia Everyone testing positive should sue this cruise line into bankruptcy. They should've been released from the beginning and their countries should all have transported them back and quarantined them separately. What a mess and how horrible for the passengers 😢😢
