Diamond Princess evacuee tests positive in Australia
From CNN’s Isaac Yee in Hong Kong
A 57-year-old woman, who was recently evacuated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, has tested positive for novel coronavirus in Australia, officials confirmed.
The Queensland woman had been a passenger on the ship, which was docked in the Japanese port of Yokohama for over two-weeks under quarantine.
There are now 22 confirmed cases of the virus in Australia.
Paul Kelly, deputy chief medical officer, said in a statement that the woman is being moved from the Manigurr-ma Village quarantine facility in Darwin to Queensland for treatment.
There has been concern that efforts to contain the outbreak to the Diamond Princess have failed, with multiple cases of the virus confirmed among passengers who have since disembarked and returned home.
Infected evacuees: As of February 22, seven passengers who were evacuated from the Diamond Princess have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in Australia.
