NUR-SULTAN, Kazakhstan – Four citizens of Kazakhstan, who were stranded on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off the coast of Japan due to the coronavirus outbreak, left the ship, the press service of the Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry reported on 21 February.
“They are in one of the hotels in Tokyo now,” the ministry said, adding that the four citizens that left the cruise ship tested negative for the coronavirus. “The results are negative. It is expected that they will return to their homeland on 22 February,” the ministry added.
Since the first days, Kazakh diplomats in Tokyo maintained contact with the four Kazakh citizens and provided all the necessary consular and legal assistance, the Foreign Ministry noted.
