Diamond Princess was put under quarantine in Japan on February 5, with passengers leaving the ship until February 22, but most of the crew stayed behind. Three Hungarians worked on the ship: a server, and two musicians, who are also siblings.
Menczer said that one of the three persons tested positive for Coronavirus, and hence was isolated on the ship. The person is expected to be transported to a hospital or observation center in the upcoming two to three days. According to the State Secretary, the infected Hungarian is doing well and has no symptoms.
The other two Hungarians are uninfected, according to Menczer.
