Over 3,700 passengers and crew members are currently stuck in the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Yokohama, Japan as dozens of people onboard have tested positive for the coronavirus. The ship will be in quarantine until February 19 and a new report says that the Japanese government has distributed around 2000 iPhones on the ship.

The iPhones are pre-installed with a dedicated app that will help patients make reservations for consultation with a doctor and talk about medication and other concerns such as anxiety. The health app belongs to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare and all the iPhones have been granted access to the SoftBank cellular service.
