Guess again.

In the wee hours of a rainy Monday, more than a dozen buses sat on the tarmac at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. Inside, 328 weary Americans wearing surgical masks and gloves waited anxiously to fly home after weeks in quarantine aboard the Diamond Princess, the luxury liner where the novel coronavirus had ­exploded into a shipwide epidemic.

But as the buses idled, U.S. officials wrestled with troubling news. New test results showed that 14 passengers were infected with the virus. The U.S. State Department had promised that no one with the infection would be allowed to board the planes.
Passengers were not informed that infected people were on board.

An Iranian visitor to Lebanon was confirmed to have the COVID-19 and flew from Iran to Lebanon. Lebanon is on the verge of financial collapse. It is certain with weak health care system, the whole population is at risk.
People are going into self quarantining

Crazy. This is why the isolation period should more than the virus incubation period.
