Costa Atlantica, an Italian cruise ship that is docked at Nagasaki Port in Japan.

After entering the port for maintenance at the end of January, I was moored at a repair shop for 3 months.

There were only 623 crew members with no passengers, of which 33 were confirmed yesterday (22 days) and another 33 were infected yesterday after one was corona positive.

Nagasaki Prefecture said there have been no crew landings since the 14th of last month, but the investigation revealed that there were crews who went to and from the city for medical checkups.

Nagasaki Prefecture, where there were only 17 confirmed cases in the region so far, doubles the number of infected people from one boat at a time. There was an emergency.

Once the minor confirmed, they were quarantined in a single room, and the rest of the crew were to wait in a single room with a balcony.

A local Korean diplomatic official said that one of the flight attendants was confirmed to be Korean, and he was checking his health.

In Japan, there is growing concern that the nightmare of the Yokohama Cruise Ship, which 712 people were infected with in February, will reappear.
