“The only thing we can do now is pray.”
Hongkong actor and DJ Sammy Leung has revealed that his elderly parents are among the 3,700 people on board the Diamond Princess, a cruise ship that has been quarantined in Yokohama, Japan since February 3 after a passenger was diagnosed with COVID-19.
As of February 16, there are a total of 355 confirmed cases of the coronavirus on the ship, making it the place with the highest number of infections outside of China. In a phone interview with Hongkong media, Sammy shared that his parents, who are in their 70s, were recently tested for the virus and are still awaiting the results. They are currently not displaying any symptoms and so are fine for now.
