Recall that the Diamond Princess liner has been in quarantine since February 4 – during the cruise, doctors discovered pneumonia caused by the coronavirus in an 80-year-old Hong Kong resident. Soon, ten more people were diagnosed with symptoms, and then the number of cases increased sharply. In total, there are about 3,7 thousand people from 56 countries on the ship.
