After the ship's two weeks of quarantine at sea, officials from various countries, including Canada, Italy, Hong Kong and South Korea, are in the process of extracting their citizens from the vessel. The Diamond Princess is reported to have around 3.700 passengers and crew members. About half the passengers are from Japan, according to Reuters.

Only those who are not currently showing symptoms of infection with the virus will be allowed to return to the U.S., where they will face two weeks of quarantine at military bases in California and Texas.

美国国务院组织了一架包机，最早在星期天晚上撤离美国人。只有那些目前没有表现出感染病毒症状的人将被允许返回美国，他们将在美国加利福尼亚州和得克萨斯州的军事基地接受为期两周的隔离。

Americans who are sick will stay in Japan to be treated. Those who are not infected are not required to board the U.S. chartered flight, but the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo has recommended that U.S. citizens get off the ship as soon as possible and take the chartered flight home.

生病的美国人将留在日本接受治疗。没有感染的人不需要登上美国包机，但美国驻东京大使馆已建议美国公民尽快下船搭乘包机回国。

"We're excited and relieved [to return to the U.S.]," John Montgomery, a passenger on the Diamond Princess, told NPR. "The fact that we're going back to the United States to have a quarantine, we feel there's a much better situation."

蒙哥马利的妻子卡罗尔也是美国公民。他告诉美国国家公共电台，他们两人“感觉良好”，准备在返回美国后继续隔离。

"We understand why through an abundance of caution that an additional testing and evaluation and quarantine would guarantee that we're not bringing it back to the States," Montgomery told NPR.

蒙哥马利对美国国家公共电台(NPR)表示:“我们非常谨慎地认为，额外的检测、评估和隔离措施将确保我们不会把病毒带回美国，我们理解这一点。”

The ship is currently being held in the Japanese port of Yokohama near Tokyo.

在香港，复课又推迟了一个月，而市政工人至少还要在家工作一周。今年1月，学校首次停课，当时政府决定延长农历新年假期。从那以后，回归日期已经推迟了好几次。据教育局局长表示，课程将于3月16日恢复。
