About 200 local passengers on board aboard the Hong Kong government chartered plane to return to Hong Kong earlier, and received quarantine at Chunyang Village, Fo Tan. The Department of Health stated that the first group of 108 residents returning from the "Diamond Princess" cruise ship to Hong Kong had a 14-day quarantine period that expired at 11:59 pm yesterday (March 4).

"Hong Kong 01" reporters have been waiting outside Junyang Village, about 0:10 in the morning, a couple of men and women completed quarantine, dragged their suitcases and walked away from Junyang Village; In addition, there were also sporadic people who completed quarantine and took their own private The car leaves. At around half past 0 am, there were two 24-seater minibuses, carrying more than 10 quarantine persons, to the MTR Tai Wai Station. After arriving at Tai Wai, they transferred to the taxi and returned home.
One of them, Mr. Yang, who completed the quarantine inspection, said at the Tai Wai Station that the six of them, including family and friends, traveled by the Diamond Princess. During the ship's quarantine, the cruise company made good arrangements. He mentioned that the nephew daughter of her companion was diagnosed and needed to be treated in a hospital. She was hospitalized for 6 days and has now returned to Hong Kong. After Yang's sister completed quarantine in Japan, the cruise company assisted in purchasing air tickets and returned to Hong Kong.
He pointed out that the isolation environment from Junyang Village on the cruise ship was not bad, but the ground in Junyang Village was quite dusty, "there are sweeping poles." He believes that the Hong Kong government has made good arrangements as a whole. On the contrary, Japanese hospitals are quite confused when they receive inspection reports and wait for the plane to return to Hong Kong. He said that this time many people were diagnosed on the ship and were unhappy, but satisfied with the compensation made by the cruise company, also said that he was not afraid to take another cruise.

Another quarantine person, Ms. Zhang, said that he was traveling with four friends, but two of them had "problems" during the inspection and needed to go to the hospital for treatment. She pointed out that whether on board or isolated in Hong Kong, the meals and treatments were good, but now she wants to return home most and will get up early tomorrow morning to drink tea. Asked if she would be stuck on the ship for many days, would she be afraid to take a cruise again? Ms. Zhang said firmly: "I'm afraid!" She also said that she would go to Switzerland next month.
The couple said that they were very happy after completing 14 days of quarantine, and asked how to pass the time. Lu said that he and his wife had spent the past two weeks talking in the room. He said that going to travel was happy, but it was quite unpleasant to see people diagnosed daily in Hong Kong. At the time of isolation, a nurse took their temperature and blood test, which was also very good for them. At present, I want to return home and be reunited with my family. I think this is an unforgettable experience, like "escape from the dead". As for the cruise company that will provide compensation, and asked if he would take a cruise again, he said with a smile, "we must consider it."
