Yonatan Levy, a relative of one of the Israeli passengers now infected:

“As early as the second day of quarantine we told them that what they were doing was dangerous,” he said. “We need to assume that the entire ship has been infected via the ventilation system. We have to evacuate all of them, like the Americans did: 318 people were all evacuated. Boom,” he said.

“One has to assume that if they have been on the ship for 14 days on top of another 15 days of cruising, the chances are that everyone is infected. America did it for his passengers, we only have 15. “
