For this week on “What’s on World Wide Campus?”, here’s the today’s news about Coronavirus for at least 102 Hongkongers on Diamond Princess cruise in Japan to be brought home on chartered flight.

According to South China Morning Post, At least 102 Hongkongers quarantined for more than two weeks on board the coronavirus-stricken cruise ship Diamond Princess in Japan were set to be brought home on a chartered flight early on Thursday morning, but there was no word on more than 200 others still trapped by the biggest outbreak of Covid-19 outside mainland China.

The scramble to evacuate them from the cruise ship came as the city reported its second coronavirus death – an elderly patient with underlying health issues.

While Hong Kong has confirmed 65 infections so far, the Covid-19 death toll on the mainland has surged past 2,000 and the number of cases now stands at nearly 74,200.
