BEIJING/TOKYO - Hundreds of people began disembarking a quarantined cruise ship off Japan on Wednesday as the death toll from the new coronavirus in mainland China passed 2,000 and the number of new cases in the country fell for a second straight day.
The latest figures bring the total number of cases in China to over 74,000 and the total death toll to 2,004, three quarters of which have occurred in the Hubei provincial capital of Wuhan. Six people have died outside mainland China, including a new fatality announced on Wednesday in Hong Kong. Only passengers who had tested negative for the virus and did not show symptoms during quarantine period would be allowed to leave the ship. Those who tested negative but were in cabins with infected people would remain on board for additional quarantine, Japanese officials said.
The number of new cases in mainland China excluding Hubei has now fallen for 15 straight days. The number of new infections ex-Hubei totaled 56 on Feb. 18, down from a peak of 890 on Feb 3. Chinese state television quoted President Xi Jinping as saying China could still meet its economic growth target for 2020, despite some economic analysts downgrading their China forecasts.

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 😢😢
