Japanese tourist may have spread coronavirus to Hawaii as US prepares to evacuate Diamond Princess passengers

  • Once back in Japan, he became more seriously ill and was tested for the coronavirus after going to a hospital

  • His precise itinerary remained unclear, except that he stayed at a Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare condo in the Waikiki section of Honolulu

The man in question is believed to have become infected in Japan before embarking on his trip, or while en route to Hawaii.

That assumption is based on the 14-day incubation period of the virus, and the fact that the man became symptomatic after less than a week in Hawaii, the state health officials said.

The patient and his wife visited the island of Maui from January 28 to February 3, then traveled to Oahu, where they stayed until flying on February 7 back to their home in the Aichi Prefecture of central Japan, the officials said.
