"Diamond Princess" has previously received cases of 80-year-old male patients in Hong Kong. The old man once soaked the jacuzzi and sauna in the ship. After the cruise ship arrived in Japan, everyone on the ship needed to be isolated. The Immigration Department stated that after learning of the incident with the Economic and Trade Office in early February, it had immediately understood the situation through the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, the Chinese Embassy in Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, the Hong Kong Tourism Industry Council and relevant cruise companies. A total of 260 Hong Kong People took the cruise. Three of them were diagnosed with the virus and are being treated at the local hospital. The remaining Hong Kong people have been quarantined on the ship for 14 days from February 5.

The Immigration Department said that the Hong Kong people received help, including requests for assistance to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible or to provide medicines required during quarantine. The Immigration Department stated that it had immediately informed the cruise company and its doctors on the situation of medical drugs and needs, and requested the Japanese authorities to provide drugs and assistance through the embassy and the Economic and Trade Office. According to the prescription, according to the cruise company, some Hong Kong people have been issued drugs, and the cruise company is successively delivering drugs to other Hong Kong people seeking help. The Immigration Department stated that it will send staff to the local area directly to contact the relevant units later today to ensure that affected Hong Kong residents are assisted.

The Immigration Department also stated that it is working with the Economic and Trade Office to understand the whereabouts of the Hong Kong people after the quarantine on February 19 to assist in the arrangement.
