Disembarked Germans "Extended stay in Japan to avoid isolation after returning home" February 21 20:24
Martin Luterjohan, a 76-passenger passenger who boarded the Diamond Princess, a cruise ship with confirmed outbreaks of the new coronavirus, answered an NHK telephone interview.
Martin says he went on a cruise ship tour to celebrate his golden wedding with his Japanese wife.
Martin embarked on the 20th of last month and had been unable to leave the room for 14 days since this month when the new coronavirus infection was confirmed.
Then, on the 19th, she was disembarked because the virus test result was negative and no symptoms were seen, and she is currently staying at a hotel in Tokyo.
Martin measured the fever every day and had no symptoms at the moment, so he said he was not worried. “I am very relieved to be able to disembark. I am enjoying Tokyo now. I know there is no guarantee that it is safe. "
Regarding his life on board, Martin said, "Even after a few steps out of the room, the crew has been instructed to return to the cabin like a prison guard. However, the crew was free to move around on board. Against the background of the surge in the number of people, the spread of the virus may have spread through crew members preparing meals and bringing them to the room. "
A positive response from two Australian passengers returning home on the charter plane said, "The Australian couple who talked at the time of disembarkation said they wanted to return home on the charter plane, but the results of the virus test were reported. The virus test results may not have been communicated to the patient.
Martin said, "Unless the government can prove that the virus has not been confirmed for the first two weeks after disembarkation, he will return to Germany for two weeks. We are also considering extending our stay in Japan for another two weeks to avoid this. "
