The cruise ship "Diamond Princess" has been docked at Yokohama Port in Japan for more than a week, and the cumulative number of confirmed passengers or crew has increased to 454. The Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, Zhiguang Ou, and the Director of the Immigration Department, Zeng Guowei, will lead the Security Bureau, the Immigration Department and other personnel in the evening (17th) to Japan to assist Hong Kong people who are stranded on the ship to return to Hong Kong by charter plane later.

The official Facebook page of "Tamamat" was the first tonight to announce that all passengers of the "Princess Diamond" will immediately move into the compulsory quarantine center upon arrival in Hong Kong. Chunyang Village in Fo Tan will undergo compulsory quarantine for 14 days and reiterate " I understand that passengers have been on board for some time and are eager to go home. "However, after referring to Hong Kong medical experts, it will be safer for deceased passengers to enter the quarantine center after returning to Hong Kong to avoid bringing health risks to families and the community.

"Tamatai" continued to say that it understands the concerns of residents in the area about the Junyang Village Quarantine Center, but emphasizes that those who stay in the quarantine center, including this group of returning passengers, are asymptomatic, nor are they diagnosed or suspected to be infected. The current quarantine facilities are seriously inadequate. At present, about 150 units in the four quarantine centers are close to saturation. It is really unable to accommodate hundreds of Hong Kong residents who are returning to Hong Kong. I hope that the public will be considerate and that all people are not allowed to go out during the quarantine period. The Yangcun Quarantine Center is hundreds of meters away from residential buildings, and residents are at extremely low risk of infection.

The government announced earlier that it would turn the Fo Tan Junyang Village into a quarantine center, which aroused dissatisfaction among residents in the area. Jun Yang Village's current district council member and Citizen Party Mai Zijian received news earlier that 269 units in Jun Yi Building of Jun Yang Village will be requisitioned as an isolation center first, and provide interior photos of Jun Yang Village, showing that the unit has Tables and chairs, wooden cabinets, fans, hot water pots and other daily items, and a unit with room number 3602 is affixed with a "single bed" sign on the door.

About a hundred members of the disciplined service volunteer service team also went to Junyang Village earlier to help the government move and assemble the furniture of related units as volunteers.
