Britons onboard cruise ship face extended coronavirus quarantine
Changes to Japanese procedure could mean two more weeks on the Diamond Princess
Britons could face two more weeks trapped onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship as Japan updates its quarantine procedure in a bid to halt the rapid spread of coronavirus among passengers.
Cruise ship guests received a letter on Sunday saying that while those who test negative for the virus will be allowed to leave on Wednesday, anyone who shared a room with a passenger who tested positive will face another two weeks onboard, starting from the date they were separated from their cabin mate.
