Last updated: 2020-02-11 14:43The New York Times reported that more than 2,500 passengers were carefully quarantined on the deck of the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was undergoing a 14-day quarantine outside Yokohama Port in Japan. Meals were delivered to their doorsteps, and they were still available daily The deck was briefly “winding off”; on the other hand, under the deck, more than 1,000 crew members could only live and work with elbows, and even four people shared a toilet, bearing the risk of being infected.
Japan ’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare said on the 10th that the new Princess Coronavirus had 65 new positive coronavirus positive reactions, which doubled the number of people diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia (Wuhan pneumonia) on the ship, totaling 135.

Disease experts said that although the Princess Quarantine's quarantine measures were designed to control the spread of the epidemic, the conditions facing the crew could cause counter-effects and help spread the virus. So far, at least 10 crew members have been infected, and five cases have been confirmed on the 9th and the 10th. According to the crew, the crew confirmed on the 9th has been dining with colleagues at the restaurant. It's not even clear how many people were infected on board, because Japanese authorities tested only a portion of the people on board, claiming that they currently lack the resources to screen everyone.
Diamond Princess has been quarantined at Yokohama Port for two weeks since February 4, and now appears to be a mini-sea version of Wuhan, China. Wuhan, with a population of 11 million, is the epidemic outbreak and has been closed for several weeks.

Binaya Kumar Sarkar, an Indian crew member who washed dishes and cooked in the kitchen of Diamond Princess, said on Facebook on the 10th that Diamond Princess is like a "small city" and it is quite easy to spread the virus. In a video uploaded to Facebook, Sarkar asked the Indian government to help him and other crew members disembark before the virus spread further. The vast majority of the crew on board were from developing countries in Asia, including 132 Indians.
Some experts point out that leaving all passengers and crew on board may exacerbate the infection rate. In order to curb the epidemic, China blocked Wuhan and the entire Hubei Province and banned more than 50 million people from leaving. The number of confirmed cases is still increasing due to family infections. John B. Lynch, an associate professor of infectious diseases at the University of Washington in the United States, pointed out that "it is similar to Wuhan, but smaller, and by isolating the ship, the crew is forced to stay together, which increases the possibility of virus transmission. We have to remember that the quarantine area protects people outside the quarantine area, not people in the quarantine area. "
Other experts say supervisors on board need to implement strict hygiene measures, including frequent hand washing. Peter Rabinowitz, co-director of the Center for Epidemic Prevention and Global Health Security Stability at the University of Washington, said passengers and crew should keep away from others and avoid grouping.
