[/quote] They haven’t test all passengers so how they can tell there are only 38 carriers? [/quote] I would assume they mean based on those that have been tested thus far. They don't like mentioning that they only tested less than 1000 passengers. [/quote] I think that the ratio of ill to carriers is 1:4, conservatively. That’s what they don’t want to be known.

The Diamond Princess:
Operated by Princess Cruises, the Diamond Princess has 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew.
It has been docked in Japan's Yokohama port since February 4 after dozens of people became infected with the virus.
So far at least 219 people (including five crew members) have tested positive for the coronavirus onboard after 44 more people were confirmed on Thursday.
It's the largest outbreak outside of mainland China.
Those who have tested positive are taken off the ship to hospitals, but passengers onboard must stay in a 14-day quarantine.
The quarantine is expected to end on February 19.
Passengers are confined to their rooms and allowed on deck for a limited time.
Crew members continue to work and one worker told CNN she fears the crew are at greater risk of being exposed to the outbreak because they are not being quarantined in the same way as the passengers.
Captain Stefano Ravera said everyone over the age of 80 has now been tested for the novel coronavirus.
Some passengers will be allowed to disembark the ship early, including those aged 80 years or over with a chronic medical condition, those 80 years or over staying in an inside cabin (with no balcony), and those under 80 who have been given a test for any other reason.
Passengers who do disembark early will have to remain in government housing facilities until February 19.
