Fourteen US citizens who were evacuated from a Japanese cruise ship that had been quarantined over the deadly coronavirus tested positive before boarding a plane home, and had to travel in an "isolation box" at the back of the aircraft.

The passengers were among more than 300 US citizens on the Diamond Princess, which had been quarantined off the coast of Japan for more than 10 days until they were evacuated on Monday.

They tested positive after they left the ship and as they were traveling to their plane home, the US State Department and Department of Health and Human Services said in a joint statement on Monday.

When the test results were discovered, the 14 passengers were moved to a "specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft to isolate them." The State Department, after consulting with experts, allowed them to fly while isolated from other passengers.

Those who do not show any symptoms or have positive test results will still be brought to military bases and be quarantined for 14 days, they added.

Four hundred and fifty-six cases of the virus were confirmed on the ship as of Monday morning — making it the place with the most infections outside China.
