Japan Frustrated, hopeful and disappointed, David Abel spent 48 hours in bewilderment on the Diamond Princess yacht when he received the nCoV test results.

"It's going to be a quiet time soon. We've got positive results for nCoV and will be going to the hospital soon," David Abel, 74, wrote on Facebook on February 18, when it was just a day away. he and his wife have reached the end of a two-week isolation period on the Diamond Princess yacht in the port of Yokohama, Japan.

Steve Abel, son of Mr. David and Mrs. Sally, who now live in Northamptonshire County of England, said on February 19 that his father sent an email to say that the couple had positive results for nCoV.

But in a Facebook post the same evening, David said the result was a "major communication confusion" because Japanese health officials could not speak English. "The consulate in Tokyo treats us very well. I find myself being listened to. Sally and I both feel very good," he added.

David expects that with this confusion, he and his wife will be able to board an evacuation flight organized by the British government to bring citizens aboard the Diamond Princess.

However, the hope of rekindling once more has been suppressed when David wrote in his Facebook post yesterday to confirm that the couple are fine "but both have positive corona virus results".

"My husband and I could not get a chance to fly to England. But the best thing is that my posts have helped the British get on the plane to leave here. I have finished my work." , David shared yesterday.

In a Facebook post today, David said the couple was taken to a hospital in Japan for treatment.

"Isolation of a yacht is a solution to failure. Isn't it not working? There are many people who are infected. But now my parents are taken to isolation somewhere and treated. my mother will soon recover and they can return home, "Steve told ITV News.

Abel and his wife are two of the 74 Britons aboard the isolated Diamond Princess yacht in the port of Yokohama, Japan. According to Japanese officials, Diamond Princess recorded 621 cases positive for nCoV, becoming the largest outbreak outside of China.

Two passengers, including an 87-year-old man and an 84-year-old woman, both Japanese citizens, died after being infected with nCoV, NHK said today, citing sources from the Japanese government.

The British Foreign Office confirmed it was working with the Japanese government to bring citizens on board to the country by the end of the week, while "ensuring the best treatment for nCoV-infected people in Japan".

Earlier, another British passenger aboard the Diamond Princess yacht said she was "disappointed" about the government's reaction and suggested that they should organize a flight to take citizens back sooner. In an interview with radio program Radio 4's Today, she said many British passengers who want to fly back home must sign a commitment of isolation 14 days after arriving in the UK.

"I need to go home and want to see my family, but after that flight it's 14 days of isolation. I wish I had decided this last week," she said.

Diamond Princess Cruise, carrying more than 3,700 passengers and crew members, was quarantined since February 4, after a Hong Kong man boarded the ship last month positive for nCoV.

After the US evacuated more than 300 citizens from the yacht, Canada announced yesterday it also began plans to bring more than 250 citizens home. Australia this morning sent planes to meet 150 citizens and these people will be isolated 14 days after returning home. The UK, Hong Kong, Israel and South Korea also announced similar plans.
