The United States and other countries are evacuating their citizens from the Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined in Japan where the number of infected people on the ship has risen to 355, as the number of local COVID-19 cases continues to grow in Singapore and Japan and as Hawaiian health officials investigate a connection to a Japanese visitor.
In other developments, China now has 68,500 cases involving the novel coronavirus, two more deaths were reported outside the mainland—one in France and one in Taiwan—and a passenger who disembarked from the Westerdam cruise ship has tested positive for the virus.
