About 130 of the ship's anchors at Yokohama Harbor have been evacuated in recent days after being found to carry the Corona virus.

On the Diamond Princess ship are 17 Israelis, including 10 from the same family. The 3,700 passengers are still in solitary confinement and are scheduled to leave on February 19, after the end of the solitary confinement.

Sixty passengers were evacuated last night and during the day an Israeli passenger who was suffering from high fever was tested - which could indicate a virus infection. The Israeli, apparently, did not stay in solitary confinement alone and if it turns out that she did, she would have to check other people who were staying next to her.

Speaking to Shimon and Shalva Dahan, who are on the ship, they say: "Every day looks like the previous one. Usually the captain announces the places from which the people infected in Corona came, he says from which country each one came and luckily today there was no Israeli."

They add: "We asked for them to be released and allowed us to return to Israel and spend the rest of the day in solitary confinement in our home. It is no longer so simple to sit in a 20 square meter room without being able to leave.

Let us stroll on the deck for an hour a day with a few dozen others. We understand that there is also an Israeli who has had the heat, we do not know who she is and hope that everything is fine. The children and families are very concerned and do not stop calling. "

Oded and Rochelle Ofarim, two other Israelis on board, say: "Hope it is not infected. Luckily we have a room with a balcony, so can breathe fresh air. There are loads of people infected on the ship and you can not tell who is carrying the virus. It's over and there's no more sticking. "

And in Israel, the IDF started fighting the virus. In the military, they announced a full curfew to China and Hong Kong, and reduced flights to Singapore and Thailand in an attempt to prevent the infection of Corona virus soldiers.

At the same time, the military is preparing to cancel exercises involving countries where there is an outbreak of the virus. However, it has been made clear that this is not at all at present. Alongside this, the Ministry of Health has warned against relaying unreliable information and false messages on social networks.
In the meantime, the number of dead from the virus worldwide reached 910 and is expected to pass today or tomorrow the symbolic figure of about 1,000 dead.

The focal point of infection continues to be the Chinese Hubei Province (871 dead, at least), and of the 40,573 known infections - 40,195 are in China.

In addition to the cruise ship docked in Yokohama, another hot spot was discovered in Europe when a British citizen returning from Singapore infested at least 11 Europeans - after staying at a French ski resort. EasyJet confirmed that a British citizen was on a flight from Geneva to London.

The plane had 189 people including the crew. The flight took place on January 28, before the signs of the virus appeared, and now authorities are trying to locate who they were in contact with. The authorities also conducted tests in a pub where he was spent by a British man.

And in China, the epicenter of the virus, President Xi Jinping debuted at a public event since the outbreak of the disease. The president gave a personal example when he wore a face mask and the heat could be measured.
