AdvertisementThe number of coronavirus cases on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan has risen to 63, including a British honeymooner who has been isolated in a hospital room after being taken off. Alan Steele was on board the cruise liner Diamond Princess when it was quarantined in the port of Yokohama. Since then, two more cases on board the ship - including an American passenger - has brought the total up to 63, USA Today reports. An extendable white-tented passageway was wheeled to a door on the side of the massive cruise ship, apparently to protect the identity of people being evacuated from the boat. Experts say that cruise ships are particularly vulnerable because of the large number of passengers, many of them older people, in a confined space.
