More than 300 American cruise liner passengers, including 14 who were diagnosed with COVID-19, were flown home to military bases in the U.S., after two weeks under quarantine offJapan.
The cruise ship Diamond Princess, with more than 400 cases, has become the biggest test so far of other countries’ ability to contain an outbreak that has killed 1,770 people in China and five elsewhere.
Although U.S. officials said passengers with virus symptoms would not be taken, 14 passengers found at the last minute to have tested positive were permitted to board the planes. The U.S. State Department said they were kept in isolation on the flights.
Across mainland China, officials said the total number of cases rose by 2,048 to 70,548. That was slightly more new cases than were reported on Sunday, but hundreds fewer than reported on Saturday.
