On 5 February 2020, in Yokohama, Japan, a cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, hosting 3711 people underwent a 2-week quarantine after a former passenger was found with COVID-19 post-disembarking. As at 20 February, 634 persons on board tested positive for the causative virus. Recent published work suggests that up to 18% of these COVID-19 positive passengers were asymptomatic carriers. 4 The Japanese authorities imposed a Â2 week strict quarantine under the Japan's Quarantine Act enacted of 1951, effectively prohibiting the disembarkation of anyone onto Japanese soil. The authors highlight their concerns in relation to the initiation and management of this strategy.
