A Coast Guard helicopter lays down the Corona 19 diagnostic equipment on the cruise ship Grand Princess, which is anchored 32 kilometers outside the Port of San Francisco.

On a cruise ship with 353 3 people, 46 people were suspected of being infected with Corona 19 and 21 confirmed.

Infection rate is 45.7%.

Concerns have been raised about the nightmare of the Diamond Princess, which caused more than 700 people with corona 19 infection in Japan.

[Trump / President: I think it's better to let people stay on the cruise. The cruise problem is not our fault, we do not need to double the number of infected people.]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said four Koreans are on board the cruise ship and all are in good health.

CDC, the delay in the supply of diagnostic equipment at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has reported that there have not been 2,000 corona tests in the United States so far.

US media have criticized the country for being too slow compared to South Korea, which has already tested nearly 180,000 people, but President Trump has left South Korea for advice.
[Trump / US President: Many people are infected with Corona 19 in Korea, but the United States is not. The situation in Korea is very different from ours. But we work very closely with Korea. As you know, Korea is our ally.]

To date, more than 300 people have been infected with Corona19 from the western United States to the southeast, and the death toll has risen to 17.
