The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare conducts a virus test on all passengers and crew members remaining on board, and those who have negative results and no symptoms are being disembarked sequentially from the 19th, when the 14-day health observation period has ended. .

Passengers got off the boat one after another in the morning on the 21st, and boarded a bus toward Yokohama Station.

Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato “Operations with No Experience in the World”

At Oguro Wharf in Yokohama, where the cruise ship “Diamond Princess” is anchored, passengers leave the boat at around 10 am on the 21st and leave the wharf.

At Daikoku Wharf in Yokohama City, 15 buses arranged by the city were waiting, and around 10 am, passengers with large luggage masked and descended one after another. Some people photographed a cruise ship anchored after disembarkation.

After completing the procedures at the terminal, the passengers board the bus, leave one pier at a time, and depart for major stations in Yokohama. In addition, taxis and passenger cars were parked in the terminal parking lot, and passengers with large bags and suitcases could get in and go out of the wharf gate.
