Ten people aboard a cruise ship anchored off the coast of Yokohama, Japan, tested positive for the new coronavirus, Japanese media reported Tuesday. The roughly 3,500 passengers and crew aboard the British-flagged ship, the Diamond Princess, have been quarantined for more than a day after a traveler from Hong Kong was diagnosed with the new coronavirus. Six days after leaving, he tested positive for the coronavirus in a Hong Kong hospital, Princess Cruises said. People are transferred from the Diamond Princess cruise ship to a patrol ship. On the Diamond Princess, passengers and crew remained on lockdown aboard the ship, according to the British channel ITV.
