Wuhan has been quarantined since January 23. All of the city’s public transportation — including buses, metros, and ferries — has been halted. Trains and airplanes coming into and out of the city are also shut down, and roadblocks were installed to keep taxis and private cars from exiting.

Wuhan’s 11 million residents were told not to leave the city, barring special circumstances. People there have been forced to stockpile food and many of the streets are deserted.

Other parts of the Hubei province are eerily empty as well.

China has imposed travel restrictions on at least 16 cities in the Hubei province, including Wuhan.

Huanggang, a city of about 7.5 million people, placed its urban core under lockdown on January 23, closing subway and train stations as well as theaters and internet cafés. Many additional cities followed suit with their own travel restrictions.

The Dream Cruises line learned on Monday that the ship had previously carried eight infected passengers, who tested positive for the coronavirus after they disembarked on January 24.

The ship has sailed four times since then, and some passengers on those subsequent trips might have been onboard at the same time as the sick passengers, the South China Morning Post reported. On Tuesday, the ship’s crew sealed off the cabins that previously held the infected passengers.

Now, 3,600 people are being quarantined on the ship at a port in Hong Kong. The passengers hail from multiple countries, including the UK, Australia, and Canada.

For now, the ship has enough food and face masks for all the passengers and crew.

“According to our records, there are nine infants under the age of 2 on board and our crew has been in contact with their accompanying family members to assist in any way to provide supplies,” Dream Cruises told the South China Morning Post. “We have also aided in the delivery of required medication for several passengers.”

But one passenger told the SCMP that some travelers’ medication is running out.

As of Wednesday night, 33 crew members on board had developed “upper respiratory tract infection symptoms,” and three were sent to the hospital, according to Hong Kong’s health department.

The cruise ship, known as the Diamond Princess, is being quarantined near Tokyo. As of Wednesday, there were 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew members on board.

Passengers have been ordered to stay inside their cabins.

Many of the cheaper rooms don’t have windows or balconies. Passengers with balconies have been leaning across them to talk to fellow travelers, The Japan Times reported.

The ship’s restaurants and cafes are closed, so passengers are receiving room service.

The ship’s auditorium and casino are closed as well. Passengers have tweeted photos of their meals, which include boiled eggs, fruit, and cereal for breakfast and bread and ham for lunch.

“Cruise lines take public health issues very seriously — I’ve actually been quarantined myself on Diamond Princess in Japan,” Liz Jarvis, editor of Cruise International Magazine, told Business Insider, referring to a time when she fell ill. “I know that passenger safety is absolutely paramount to all the team on board, and they act very swiftly in the event of any suspected issue.”

Japan is also chartering a ferry to hold people suspected of carrying the coronavirus.

The country has reported 45 cases of the virus so far. Japan chartered the ferry, known as the Hakuo, on Wednesday, but no sick or potentially ill people have boarded it yet. The ship has a maximum capacity of 500 passengers, but Reuters reported that only 94 people are expected to board.

As of February 2, US citizens returning home who have been in the Hubei province within the past 14 days can be quarantined for up to two weeks.

On January 29, a flight carrying nearly 200 Americans from Wuhan landed at the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, California. The passengers have been placed under a 14-day quarantine in the base’s living quarters.

On Wednesday, another set of roughly 350 evacuees arrived in the US. They are being quarantined at two California military bases: the Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield and the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego.

Of the 167 passengers who landed in San Diego, four were transported to local hospitals after showing symptoms of the virus, the CDC said.

A flight carrying additional passengers from Wuhan took off on Wednesday, headed for the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. A fourth flight will carry evacuees to the Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska.

Around 180 French passengers are being held at a seaside resort with volleyball courts, art classes, and a concierge service.

The evacuees include 238 students and five officials from the Indonesian embassy. They’re being held at an air force base in Natuna, off the northwest coast of Borneo.

At a press conference on Thursday, the nation’s director for communicable diseases, Windra Waworuntu, said doctors will monitor the health of the quarantined citizens. If they don’t present symptoms, she added, there might not be a reason to test them for the virus.

“If they are not well, feverish, coughing, and sneezing, then we will swab,” Waworuntu said. “If they are fine, why should we swab?”
