Coronavirus: cruise ship carrying 3,700 quarantined in Japan after 10 test positive

Thousands of people face spending the next fortnight stuck on a luxury cruise ship quarantined off the Japanese port of Yokohama, after initial results showed 10 passengers have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Two Australians are among the 10 people who have tested positive, the cruise company Carnival confirmed.
It was not immediately clear if Japanese health authorities planned to test other passengers on board the Diamond Princess.
The ship was due to undertake an eight-day round-trip cruise on Wednesday, but that had been cancelled, the company said.
The passenger has also been tweeting announcements in English and Japanese, including Wednesday morning’s confirmation that 10 people had tested positive.
