A total of 188 Indonesian citizens who worked as crew members of the World Dream ship are transferred from Indonesian Navy ship Dr. Soeharso to Sebaru Kecil Island in Thousand Islands on Friday (28/2/2020). They will have their health observed for 14 days to know whether they are infected with COVID-19. The picture was taken from the Tunas Wisesa 08 ship owned by PT Artha Graha.

KOMPAS - The Indonesian government sent on Friday afternoon an evacuation team of 23 people to Tokyo, Japan, to pick up 68 of the 78 Indonesian citizens working aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

The team will not evacuate eight other crew members because they are still being treated because they have been confirmed positive for the new coronavirus. The other two crew members are healthy, but want to stay and work on the cruise ship, which now lies at anchor in Yokohama, Japan.
