HONG KONG - Hong Kong authorities quarantined a cruise ship for a second day on Thursday as they checked thousands of passengers and crew for the new coronavirus, forbidding anyone from disembarking to prevent further spreading of the epidemic.
All but one of the 33 tested negative for the disease, with the remaining test pending, the city’s health department said in a statement late on Wednesday. The former British colony saw its first death from the virus on Tuesday. It has confirmed 21 cases, with many recent cases transmitted locally, authorities said.
The city’s Hospital Authority said on Thursday emergency services would be severely hampered due to the large number of absent staff.
