TOKYO - Three Japanese evacuated from Wuhan on a government-chartered flight have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus - including two who had not shown any symptoms, the health ministry said on Thursday.
Japan on Tuesday designated illness caused by the new virus as “designated infectious disease”, which would allow compulsory hospitalization and the use of public funds to treat such patients. But the designation - which takes effect on Feb. 7 after ordinances are issued - does not apply to those without symptoms.
The three new cases were among 206 Japanese who were evacuated to Tokyo on Wednesday from Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic. Shigeru Omi, head of the Japan Community Health Care Organization, told the same briefing that there were reports of such transmission cases in China. “It is extremely unfortunate that they declined to be tested,” Abe told a parliamentary panel. “There are no legal constraints . There are civil rights aspects and there are limits to what we can do.”
