A top National Institutes of Health official said more than 40 Americans on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan have been infected with the deadly coronavirus
A top National Institutes of Health official said Sunday that at least 40 Americans on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan have been infected with the deadly coronavirus.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview with host Margaret Brennan on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that infected Americans aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship would be treated at hospitals in Japan. Fauci gave the number as 40, though other reports indicated that the number might be higher.
"The reason for that is that the degree of transmissibility on that cruise ship is essentially akin to being in a hot spot," Fauci added. "A lot of transmissibility on that cruise ship." Fauci stated said that if passengers who have not yet shown any sign of the coronavirus start to develop symptoms while in the air, “they'll be segregated within the plane.”Sign UpBy signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.
