Test results showed that 65 additional people on a cruise ship quarantined in Yokohama City, Japan are infected with the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), the Japanese Health Ministry said on Monday.
The newest test results brought the number of confirmed cases to more than 155 in Japan, including 135 on the Diamond Princess cruise ship south of Tokyo.
The ship has been kept in quarantine off the port of Yokohama after a passenger that disembarked in Hong Kong was found to be infected with the pneumonia-causing virus.
The 80-year-old passenger flew to Tokyo in mid-January and boarded the cruise ship on January 20.
Roughly 3,700 passengers and crew from 56 countries and regions were on board.
According to local media reports, passengers have been confined to their rooms; however, they are allowed to spend some time on deck under staff supervision.
Japan is stepping up efforts to contain the spread of the virus as the number of confirmed cases continues to rise.
The government has been urging the public to remain calm and to not believe a growing number of social media rumors concerning the outbreak.
