People who are quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess in Japan have been wondering how long their isolation would last. On Friday, a health official gave an answer they might not like: the quarantine would be extended every time a new case of the Wuhan coronavirus was confirmed on the ship.
The coronavirus quarantine that has kept some 3,700 people aboard the cruise ship had been set to expire on Feb. 19 – but that date would be reset if any new samples from people on the ship test positive for the virus, Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, said Friday.
