All the passengers and crew members are now in quarantine for a week.

Each of the passengers received a letter of apology for not being able to return home immediately.

Each person will have their own sterilized room with new sheets. And a special medical team will also help.

Lu Yong, head of Medical team, said, "We will go to each of their rooms to check their body temperatures twice a day, and also monitor other symptoms, like fever and cough. Three meals will be sent directly by hotel workers. "

Meanwhile, all staff in the hotel have been given basic medical training, including how to sterilize. Officials say waste created during the quarantine period will be handled properly to avoid contamination.
