key points:
The number of coronavirus cases aboard a quarantined cruise ship off the coast of Japan nearly doubled on Monday, when officials announced that 65 new patients have been diagnosed with the deadly infection.
The new figures bring the total number of cases on the Diamond Princess vessel to 135, including at least 14 Americans, Japanese media reported on Monday. The ship, which has been under quarantine since Tuesday, was already the largest center of infections outside of mainland China.
Passengers diagnosed with the pneumonia-like illness will be taken to area hospitals for treatment while the vessel remains quarantined through at least Feb. 19, according to NHK, Japan’s national broadcasting service.
The Diamond Princess is anchored at Yokohoma, just south of Tokyo.
