Yokohama

Some 3,700 people are on board the Diamond Princess, which is quarantined in Yokohama for at least two weeks.

The checks began after an 80-year-old Hong Kong man who had been on the ship last month fell ill with the virus.

He boarded the cruise ship in Yokohama on 20 January and disembarked in Hong Kong on 25 January.

A separate cruise ship - the World Dream - has been quarantined in Hong Kong after eight former passengers caught the virus.

It has around 3,600 people on board, but none have tested positive so far.

The festival offered visitors their very first opportunity to check out a range of Pacific island products including crafts, noni juice from Samoa and Tonga, PNG coffee, skincare products from Fiji, cosmetics made from Solomon Islands honey and tamanu oil from Vanuatu.

The Pacific Islands Centre (PIC) sponsored the Festival and held ‘Pacific Marche’ to display and sell products from Pacific island countries to promote business and culture exchange.
