When was asked when 8 Hong Kong people confirmed that they had contacted Japan? Zhang Zhujun said that there has been communication with Japan, because one of the cases was diagnosed in Hong Kong, so he pays attention to the development of epidemiology. As for Hong Kong people who need help overseas, she said that the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau will carry out related work.

Some Hong Kong people told the media that her parents were on the "Diamond Princess" and her mother was informed of the illness on the ship, but said that no one had been sent to the hospital for treatment for nearly 24 hours. The Hong Kong people said that they had called the Immigration Department, but the other party stated that they had not received confirmation of the diagnosis, and only said that they would open a file to follow up and deal with the shipping company.
