Everyone disembarked from Diamond Princess cruise ship

Everyone onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship has finally disembarked, said Japan's Health and Labor Minister Katsunobu Katō at a press conference on Sunday.

The Diamond Princess, with over 3,700 passengers and crew members on board, set off on January 20 for a two-week voyage, but was later quarantined in the Japanese port of Yokohama due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. 

So far, 705 people out of the 3,711 – nearly one fifth – have been confirmed as infected.

As of 19:30 on Sunday local time, 955 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus were reported, including the infected cases on the cruise ship.
