All crew members have left virus-hit ship in Japan: minister
All crew members, including the captain, have disembarked from the virus-hit Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan.
The crew began disembarking on Thursday, February 27, to undergo further medical monitoring in government-designated facilities.
Those who tested negative for the novel coronavirus will spend 14 days in dormitories before being allowed to leave Japan.
The ship carried approximately 3,700 passengers and crew members, and the quarantine process has faced criticism after over 700 people on board tested positive.
At least six people who were hospitalized after being taken off the ship have died, including a British passenger and an Australian man evacuated from the vessel.
