Japan says 273 people on the cruise ship were tested and 61 were found positive, and the 41 new patients have been sent to hospitals in 5 separate prefectures.

Dow futures are down around 100 points on the headline…

And Yuan is weakening on the news…

With The Olympics only a few months away, this must be a full panic for Japanese authorities to ensure it does not escape that ship.
