About new coronavirus infectious disease confirmed in cruise ship during quarantine in Yokohama Port (the tenth report)

The cruise ship Diamond Princess, which arrived at Yokohama Port on February 3, is undergoing quarantine at sea. A new coronavirus test was conducted, including those who are considered to be at high risk from the viewpoint of ensuring health due to long-term stay on board, including those with symptoms such as fever, and the results were found. Out of 289, 70 (including 38 asymptomatic pathogen carriers) were confirmed positive for the new coronavirus. In the future, it will be transported to medical institutions with infectious disease wards. Positive cases were confirmed in 355 (1,111 asymptomatic pathogen carriers) out of a total of 1,219 persons tested.
 
Those who are transported include elderly people and foreign nationals, and it is necessary to take measures that take into account physical conditions. The press is requested to give special consideration to coverage of this matter.
 
Quarantine of the cruise ship continues to be implemented. A new coronavirus test is conducted for those who need it, and the results will be announced later.
 
I believe the total asymptomatic positives should be 111 (not 1,111)
