Six days to go:’ As coronavirus tears through Princess Cruise ship, Japanese officials evacuate vulnerable passengers


Carnival’s Princess Cruises said Japanese health officials will allow the most vulnerable guests on the ship to complete their quarantine shoreside.
There are now more cases aboard the Diamond Princess than anywhere else in the world outside of China.
Guests 80 years or older who are staying in a cabin without a balcony and those 80 years or older who have an underlying medical condition will be prioritized, according to Capt. Gennaro Arma.

Japanese health officials are allowing the most vulnerable guests quarantined on the Diamond Princess docked just off of Yokohama to leave the cruise ship and complete their isolation on land, Carnival’s Princess Cruises said Thursday.

The decision comes as the company confirmed 44 new cases of the coronavirus, aboard the cruise ship. That brings the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 from the ship to almost 220.
