Coronavirus: infected taxi driver had contact with Diamond Princess passengers in Japan

A taxi driver believed to have had contact with passengers from the luxury Diamond Princess Cruise was among four new coronavirus
cases seen in Japan

on Friday, as the first passengers from the quarantined vessel were allowed to disembark.

Officials also confirmed two new cases in Tokyo, both of whom had contact with a taxi driver in his 70s whose infection was announced on Thursday. One of the new cases was a worker on a boat where the Tokyo taxi driver had held a party on January 18 with his wife, the Tokyo government said.

The fourth person was a farmer in his 70s who was treated at a hospital in western Japan where a doctor was recently confirmed to have been infected, local officials said on Friday, adding that the two apparently never had any contact.


Wakayama Governor Yoshinobu Nisaka said, however, he did not think infections were spreading inside the Saiseikai Arida Hospital in Yuasa, where the man was briefly hospitalised from last week.

A local government official warned that infections could be spreading outside of the medical facility as the man developed symptoms before he visited the hospital on February 6.

The new cases came as Japan on Friday began allowing elderly passengers on board the Diamond Princess who tested negative for the new coronavirus
to finish their isolation in government-designated lodging onshore.

Passengers aged 80 or older in poor health or confined to windowless inner cabins on the Diamond Princess were given the green light to move from the ship to accommodation on land.

The first of them departed the massive cruise ship on Friday afternoon, travelling in buses with blacked out windows.

At the wheel, one driver was dressed in a head-to-toe white protective suit, complete with goggles and mask.

A government official said 11 people had left, but declined to say whether more would depart Friday or offer further details.
