Cruise Ship Quarantines - Coronavirus 2020

What am I missing? Does the SuperStar Aquarius have any connection at all to known coronavirus patients? The one in Japan was flagged because someone who got off the vessel was later determined to have the virus. But as far as I can tell, the Aquarius goes back and forth between Taiwan and Japan, and currently is no more a source of concern than any random plane coming from Tokyo or London. (Which to be fair, is not zero.)

Excellent points. Then, why have the authorities made such a meal out of testing the passengers, etc.? Did this ship stop in China or Hong Kong?
