Hong Kong lifts quarantine on World Dream cruise ship after clearing all 1,800 crew members of new coronavirus
The cruise ship World Dream docked at Kai Tak cruise terminal as passengers leave the ship after being quarantined for the coronavirus in Hong Kong, Sunday, February 9, 2020.
The government grounded the ship on its arrival in Hong Kong on Wednesday while tests were carried out on the crew, but said the passengers need not undergo an examination as they had no contact with the three sick holidaymakers on the January trip.First found in the city of Wuhan in central China last December, the virus has infected more than 37,200 people on the Chinese mainland and at least 36 in Hong Kong.
As he left the ship, passenger Rocky Chan said quarantine conditions had been "okay", though his time onboard had caused him a few problems. The city's health minister on Sunday morning said 468 people had so far been ordered to stay at home, in hotel rooms or at a government quarantine camp since the policy took effect.Mainland China's death toll from the new virus outbreak soared to 811, surpassing the number of fatalities in the 2002-2003 SARS pandemic, as authorities enforce ever-stricter measures to curb the further spread.
China has placed around 50 million people under quarantine, mainly in and around Wuhan, the hardest-hit central Chinese city where the virus was first detected in December among people who had visited a food market where live wild animals were sold.
