The development complicated belated U.S. government efforts to evacuate Americans trapped on the Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined off Japan.
An American woman from yet another cruise ship in Asia has been diagnosed with the coronavirus — just as U.S. officials prepare to evacuate hundreds of U.S. citizens on a separate quarantined ship that has been docked off Japan.
“It was like a punch in the gut,” Diamond Princess passenger Rebecca Frasure, 35, of Forest Grove, Oregon, told CNN Saturday. “I was so sure that this was going to come out negative,” she added, referring to the test. American passengers who choose to be evacuated face an additional 14 days in quarantine once they land in the U.S. They will be flown to Air Force bases in California or Texas.
The Japanese government said Saturday that it “appreciates” the U.S. government’s decision to offer voluntary evacuation to American citizens on the Diamond Princess.
