Australians returning from the charter on a cruise ship in Japan have been tested positive for Coronavirus Infection-19 (Corona 19).

The Japanese government has already disembarked hundreds of Japanese, who have met the same conditions as Australians, and raises concerns that Corona19 will spread further.

According to reports from NHK and Kyodo News, two of the 160 Australians who stayed at Diamond Princess docked in Yokohama Port and returned to the charter today (20) confirmed corona19 positive, the Australian Ministry of Health said.

Those who were tested negative for the virus and had no symptoms such as fever were allowed to return to Australia by charter, some of which were found positive after returning home.

Australia plans to quarantine those who returned to Diamond Princess for two weeks after returning home.

Japan, on the other hand, has unloaded those who met the same conditions as returning Australians without further containment since 19th.

The Japanese government decided that no further infection had occurred since the 5th of the month of in-room containment, and that there were no symptoms such as fever as of 19th, which filled two weeks of containment, and those who were negatively judged were not concerned about spreading corona 19. I did.

But those who met the same conditions and returned to Australia on the 20th charter later became positive.

It is suspected that you have been infected with the virus five days after the room quarantine began.

Unless Australians who were later found to be positive were not transmitted by a separate route during their returning home, the preconditions presumed by the Japanese government do not hold.

Corona 19 may be spreading faster in the Japanese archipelago.

The Japanese government disembarked 717 of Diamond Princess' passengers for two days on May 19 and returned to their homes by public transport.

Up to 450 people are expected to drop off at Diamond Princess on the 21st.
