According to the latest information, all of them are members of the crew of the vessel. Patients were evacuated from the ship and hospitalized.

“There is one infected citizen of Ukraine, a crew member of a cruise ship that is in a roadstead off the coast of Japan. Identity determined. Placed in the hospital. The condition is satisfactory. Contact is maintained with the hospitalized person. The situation is under the control of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan,” said the head of the Ukrainian consular service department.

He added that the Ukrainian is receiving qualified medical care, and now the patient “feels fine”.

The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health, Mikhail Radutsky, said that an infected Ukrainian would spend at least 14 days in isolation. The date of return of citizens from Japan has not yet been determined. However, they will also be watched in Ukraine when they are released from quarantine.

“We are in contact with all our citizens. But all our citizens are crew members, so they have certain obligations, ”said Yelena Ivanchuk, Ukrainian consul in Japan.

Meanwhile, crew member Taras Filippov showed on the video what the situation is on the ship. He said that at least two more Ukrainians did not leave the cabins due to symptoms of infection.

In total, about 3,7 thousand people (at least 25 Ukrainian citizens) from more than 50 countries are on board the Diamond Princess.

The vessel was detained on February 4 in the port of Yokohama and the next day was sent to quarantine.

The ship went on a cruise on January 20, but returned to the harbor after a man who was diagnosed with 2019-nCoV went ashore in Hong Kong.

As of Monday morning, February 10, the number of cases of coronavirus infection on board the Diamond Princess reached 136 people - twice as many as the day before, writes "New time". This is the largest outbreak outside of mainland China. However, according to the ship's captain, quoted by CNN, the increase in the number of detected cases does not indicate the ineffectiveness of quarantine and was expected.

The infected are removed from the ship, most of these people are taken to one of the Yokohama hospitals.

Note that the Diamond Princess was launched back in 2004. On board are several restaurants and bars, a SPA salon, five pools, a fitness center, a tennis court, a mini golf course, a night club and a casino.

We add, on the eve of the Ministry of Finance of China announced that 71,85 billion yuan ($ 10,3 billion) will be allocated to fight against coronavirus.

“The ministry will use funds to ensure that citizens can afford diagnosis and treatment,” the ministry said in a statement.

The funds will also be used to ensure that the regions have enough money for a substantive fight against the virus.

So far, no vaccine for the disease has been found. Interestingly, world-famous actor Jackie Chan offered a reward of 1 million yuan (about $ 197) for developing a cure for the coronavirus, writes the Straights Times.

He hopes that his intention will not be misunderstood.

“It's not about money. “I don’t want to see the once bustling streets now empty, and I don’t want my compatriots to die while the fight against the virus continues,” he wrote.
