Japanese Health Minister Katsunobu Kato apologized on Saturday after a woman was allowed to leave a cruise ship with an outbreak of “Corona” near Tokyo, and tests confirmed her HIV infection.

This woman, in her sixties, left the ship on Wednesday, after spending two weeks in quarantine on the ship, but it was discovered that she had the virus after another test in the Tochiji prefecture, north of Tokyo.

“We sincerely apologize for this stance, which resulted from our neglect,” Kato told a news conference on Saturday evening. We will take all necessary measures, such as increasing the examination procedures to prevent this from happening again. ”
