Six more people were identified on cruise ships in Japan, where 64 people were confirmed by yesterday. One day later, cruise ships are infected, and the Japanese government does not include them in Japan's statistics.

Six new corona infections have been identified today on the cruise ship Diamond Princess.

After arriving in Yokohama on the 3rd, 64 people were confirmed yesterday, followed by six more infections.

The Japanese government says only 10 dozens of people on board are screened for infection.

Six of the confirmed cases were announced to passengers on board in the afternoon, but there are no official government announcements yet.

Onboard Broadcast (to 2:30 pm today): 6 new ships are being unloaded. These are people who have been confirmed to have a new corona infection.]

This increased the number of infected to 70 out of the 3,715 passengers.

Today, about 500 medicines have been brought on board to treat people with illnesses among passengers.

Abe's government does not include cruise-confirmed suspects in Japanese incidence statistics.

[Kato / Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare: WHO (World Health Organization) also sees outbreaks on cruise ships separately from those in Japan.]

It is an explanation for the anxiety in Japan, but critics say that the trick is meaningless in more than one hundred cases of infected people after China.
