As the coronavirus infection tally aboard a luxury cruise liner quarantined in Japan touched 137, the Indian crew members sent an SOS video from the vessel, requesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to save them and the passengers.
In a video, one of the crew members, identified as Binay Kumar Sarkar, said 66 more people -- crew members and passengers onboard Diamond Princess cruise ship -- were tested positive for the coronavirus on Monday, taking the infection tally to 137.
The luxury cruise ship was quarantined when it arrived in Yokohama, last week after one of the passengers who had disembarked in Hong Kong tested positive for the coronavirus infection.
