The ship is expected to stay in quarantine until Wednesday next week, 14 days after the isolation period began. The WHO confirmed in a tweet that newly diagnosed cases on the ship should not extend the length of the quarantine. “The quarantine period of the #DiamondPrincess will come to an end on 19 February,” the WHO said in a tweet. “The period will be extended beyond the 19 Feb as appropriate only for close contacts of newly confirmed cases. Only one Taiwanese passenger has been confirmed to have the virus, and the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) would continue to communicate with Japan about bringing that passenger home, he said.
