“Princess Diamond” deaths are excluding people who died in their home countries that where infected on the cruse ship. They had 6 deaths as of February 28th and then excluded all future deaths and cases “cases found after disembarkation” from the total.

Edit: A Hong Kong national from the ship died on 6 March which is being included as the 7th death. So, this may simply be fragmented rather than explicit exclusions.

Are these stats not accurate?

They are saying 7 deaths and 32 critical.

I don’t know about the cruse ship, but it seems like it’s double counting a death in Australia on both the cruse ship and an Australian death. I would double check the totals.

As far as I can tell Australia has 3 deaths including 1 from the cruse ship. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-08/coronavirus-related-d...
