The US is finally evacuating Americans from the Diamond Princess. Three thousands seven hundred and eleven of people have been stuck in their cabins under mandatory quarantine aboard the Diamond Princess, which is docked off the Japanese port city of Yokohama, since February 3. With 356 confirmed cases of coronavirus on board, 70 of which were announced Sunday, the ship has the largest concentration of novel coronavirus cases outside mainland China. On February 19, the controversial quarantine period was set to finally end. There are more than 400 Americans aboard, remaining on the ship for the quarantine period. Most passengers weren't thrilled but accepted the plan. After the quarantine, virus-free passengers were told they could take commercial flights back to the US. On Saturday afternoon, the US Embassy in Tokyo sent a notice to Americans on board the Diamond Princess laying out plans to evacuate nearly 400 Americans back home. Once there, another 14 days of mandatory quarantine would begin. Anyone who chose not to get on the flight would have to wait another 14 days in Japan to ensure they were symptom-free before returning to the US. There are 44 Americans on cruise ship docked in Japan test positive for coronavirus and they can't get on plane to return to USA. That decision has prompted anger among the American passengers, with many demanding answers to two simple questions about the US response: Why did the American government wait so long to make the about-face decision? What prompted such a dramatic shift in US policy? Japanese government plans to begin testing all those who remain on board for the virus. Results should be provided within three days. From February 21, staggered disembarkations would begin. The abrupt change in US policy led some to believe that Washington lost faith in the effectiveness of the Japanese response to coronavirus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad and commonly known as Tokyo 20/20 or the Recovery Olympics, is an upcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled from Friday, July 24 to Sunday, August 9. Will the Summer Olympics open as scheduled? Japanese government and people have donated thousands of masks and gloves to Chinese since January, now Japan is short of masks and gloves to protect themselves. Will the Olympics athletes be safe to attend the sports event? Honesty is the best policy. |
