Agence France-Presse has conducted interviews with some of the crew members of the Diamond Princess, who were not subject to the same quarantine restrictions on the ship.
They (the crew) were preparing food and delivering meals to cabins, leading some critics to charge they were inadvertently spreading the virus throughout the ship, which has seen more than 600 cases of the potentially deadly COVID-19 disease.
As they have been in close contact with possibly infected passengers, the crew is expected to undergo a 14-day quarantine starting when the last passenger leaves the ship.
Hubei province has revised its new cases for Friday up from 411 to 631, which pushes the day’s total across china above 1,100. New deaths remain unchanged at 115.
“The prison system has increased by a total of 220 cases,” the bulletin from the Hubei health commission says.
