Concerned that Israeli citizen was infected with corona disease while staying in quarantine aboard the Diamond Princess ship off the coast of Yokohama, Japan.

The woman, one of 15 Israelis on board the ship, was diagnosed with fever and was suspected of contracting the virus. No definitive answer has been received as to her condition but results will be forthcoming soon.

Japan's Ministry of Health announced on Monday that 60 more people were infected with the Corona virus aboard the Diamond Princess luxury ship, which is anchored off the coast of Yokohama City, bringing the virus to 130.

The remaining 3711 passengers aboard the vessel, including 15 Israeli citizens, remain in quarantine aboard the ship and meanwhile Japan is not expected to be released from the quarantine. Passengers have been in quarantine for close to two weeks.

In an interview with Israel today, an Israeli passenger said that the passengers were not allowed out of their rooms for a long time and were allowed to take an hourly tour on board only after a few days of being in their room.
