Sixty-five more people on board a quarantined cruise ship at Yokohama Port have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus.
That brings the total number of cases on the vessel to 135.
People with confirmed infections will be hospitalized, as were cases discovered earlier.
It left Yokohama last month and made stops in southern Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Taiwan before its return.
The ship caught the attention of medical authorities when an 80-year-old passenger tested positive for the virus after disembarking in his home city of Hong Kong.
