The government sent a second Cathay Pacific charter flight from Hong Kong to the Diamond Princess in Tokyo. It took off at 9 o'clock (Hong Kong time, the same below) and returned to Hong Kong last night (21st). There were 82 Hong Kong and 2 Macao residents boarding. Arrived today at 22:30.

The flight departed four hours later than originally scheduled. The deputy director of the local security bureau, Zhiguang Guang, and the director of the immigration department, Zeng Guowei, said that the Japanese side had mistaken the information and listed 20 Hong Kong people who could board the aircraft as close contacts Boarding was banned. Although it was later ascertained that only 2 people were close contacts, the charter flight had actually taken off.

The 18 people later decided to return to Hong Kong by taking an ANA flight at their own expense. The medical staff ordered them to wear masks on the plane and not to walk on the plane. The flight arrived at 5 am today.
