The Japanese media reports that some isolated citizens in the cruise ship identified by the Corona virus could leave it • Israelis may also be allowed to leave the quarantine

Hope for Israelis in the "Corona Ship"? The Japanese Times reported Tuesday (Tuesday) that Japan intends to allow some of the people in the cruise ship who discovered the Corona virus to leave the quarantine where they are. According to the report, Japan intends to allow older adults and those with previous health problems to leave the ship for fear of being infected with the virus, but it is unclear when.

The announcement of the expected release came a few hours after Shimon and Shalva Dahan spoke with Israel Today about their desire to return to Israel, even if it means moving in isolation in Israel: "We want to go back to Israel, pass the quarantine at home Of 20 meters without a balcony and without getting off the ship, it's really not easy and we are asking decision makers in Israel to help us with the matter, "they said.

• Israeli families on "Corona ship": "Not willing to participate in experiment"

• Empty factories and frightened passengers: Corona strikes global economy

• Corona virus: More than 1,000 victims, 43,090 people were infected with the virus

Shimon and Shalva Dahan's remarks came against the backdrop of a campaign launched by Israeli families on the ship. 152 family members and relatives of the Israelis on the ship signed a letter that was forwarded to the authorities in an attempt to promote their early release and flight to Israel.

It should be noted that if the reports in the Japanese media are true, most of the Israelis on board are supposed to be liberated, because most of them are in their 60s and 70s.
