34 people were confirmed by yesterday on the Costa Atlantica, an Italian cruise ship that was docked at Nagasaki Port in Japan, yesterday, and 14 more were confirmed.

This has increased the total number of people on board to 48.

Since one of the infected confirmed yesterday was taken to a hospital in downtown Nagasaki, it has been reported that there have been no serious cases.

Mild confirmers were isolated in a single cabin on board, and the rest of the crew are waiting to be distributed in a single room with balconies.

Our local mission is in a hurry to check the health status of one Korean flight attendant.

Nagasaki Prefecture, which has revealed the policy of all inspections for 623 crew members, plans to speed up the inspection process and complete the inspection within a few days.

The Costa Atlantica was anchored in a garage for the third month after entering port without passengers for maintenance in late January.

Nagasaki said that even after the 14th of last month, when the first infected person in the area came out, it was thought that there were crew members who went to and from the city for medical checkups.

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