The new type of Wuhan pneumonia continues to spread. Earlier, it took the cruise ship "Diamond Princess" that confirmed the diagnosis of Hong Kong people, and continued to moor in Yokohama, Japan. 3,700 people were isolated on board for more than 8 days. Today, 44 new cases were diagnosed, and a total of 174 people were infected with the new type. pneumonia.

Member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), Zheng Yongshun, went to the Hong Kong Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today (13th) to meet with Deputy Commissioner Song Ruan to reflect the demands of Hong Kong people on board the ship and hope to be returned to Hong Kong. Song Ruan responded that the decision was led by the Hong Kong Government. If the Chief Executive and the Security Bureau seek assistance from the Office, the Office is willing to help.

"Diamond Princess" has new cases almost daily. Zheng Yongshun said when he saw the media that Song Ruan had reflected his passengers' concerns about whether the ship was still suitable for segregation. Song Ruan also hoped that he could convey the concerns of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Hong Kong people on board. We strive to provide assistance in a manner that is "urgent and sympathetic to Hong Kong people." Song Ruan also mentioned that the Chinese embassy staff in Japan have been working around the clock, including visiting three confirmed Hong Kong people, sending condolences to Hong Kong people on board, providing helplines, and providing them with drugs.

The Japanese authorities have not yet announced the date of the quarantine. Today, the elderly who have long-term illnesses over 80 years old and live in balcony-free cabins can get off the boat and receive land isolation after receiving a negative virus test. Zheng Yongshun quoted information on board that several Hong Kong people had completed the test but had not been arranged to leave the ship. If calculated by day, the quarantine should be completed next Wednesday (19th), so Zheng Yongshun thinks that it is unlikely that Hong Kong people will be arranged to return to Hong Kong early.

Some Hong Kong people on board wanted the government to charter flights. Zheng Yongshun quoted Song Ruan as saying that the decision was led by the Hong Kong government. If the Chief Executive and the Security Bureau seek assistance from the Office, the Office is willing to cooperate. Zheng Yongshun believes that the returnees need to develop a complete plan, including whether they need to undergo quarantine or rapid testing after returning to Hong Kong, and whether the quarantine center is adequate.

Zheng Yongshun said that when the DAB met with Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e and Chief Executive Chen Guoji this morning, he also made the above comments to the other party, and the government responded that it was studying.
