Hundreds of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19) have been controversial when Japanese officials who have been sent to a cruise ship have returned to work without being tested.

NHK reports on the 22nd that many of the employees of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare who worked on the cruise ship 'Diamond Princess' anchored in Yokohama Port, Japan, returned to their original job without undergoing a virus test.

At least 90 employees of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare entered the Diamond Princess, and many of the employees with no symptoms such as fever were not tested.

Two employees of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare who were dispatched were checked for symptoms such as fever during work on board.

Diamond Princess has confirmed that 634 of its passengers and crew were infected with Corona 19 on the 22nd of the morning, and that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's return to work without testing could spread the infection.

While staying in Wuhan, China, a number of cabinet workers, who were sent to accommodations where they returned to Japan on charter flights, had been tested for viruses.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare responded, "We will check for viruses if you have fever or respiratory symptoms.

According to Kyodo News, 20 employees of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Cabinet Office workers in their 30s who were in charge of affairs on Diamond Princess were confirmed to be infected with Corona 19.
