YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A British couple in quarantine on board a cruise ship in Japan have begged British authorities to get them home, as COVID-19 cases on board the Diamond Princess rise.

David Abel has been documenting his experience on board the ship, which has been docked off the coast of Yokohama in Japan for around three weeks.

According to Johns Hopkins University, which is mapping the outbreak, there have been 355 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, on board the ship - the highest amount outside China.
