Almost 300 of the 3,700 people on the Diamond Princess have been tested so far. The number of infected could rise.
The checks began after an 80-year-old Hong Kong man who had been on the ship last month fell ill with the virus.
Some 3,600 people on a second cruise ship docked in Hong Kong are also being tested.

아키히토 일왕 조기퇴위 의향 담은 영상메시지 발표
The head of the world’s oldest monarchy, Japanese Emperor Akihito has
hinted that he wants to abdicate because of age and ill health,
potentially ushering in the most significant change to Japan's imperial
system in the postwar era.
Kim Hyesung reports.
In a rare
televised address, Japan's 125th Emperor Akihito said if his health
worsens he may not be able to fulfill his duties. "When I consider
that my fitness level is gradually declining, I am worried that it may
become difficult for me to carry out my duties as the symbol of the
State with my whole being as I have done until now."
The emperor
has had health problems in recent years. He underwent a heart surgery
operation in 2012 and was also hospitalized for prostate cancer.
In
his message, Akihito stopped short of saying directly that he wanted to
abdicate, which could be interpreted as interfering in politics in
Japan.
- "In Japan, an emperor is required to serve until death
by law. For Akihito to step down, the Japanese parliament would have to
change the law."
And following the speech, Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe said he took the emperor’s words “seriously," and that the
government will discuss the legal changes required for that to happen.
According
to Japanese media, this would require a parliamentary discussion and
making legal changes that could take around two to three years.
During his 28-year reign, Akihito has strived to mend ties with countries hurt by Japanese wartime aggression.
In
2015, the Emperor expressed "deep remorse" over Japan's role in World
War Two, which stands in stark contrast with the Abe Administration's
attempts to reinterpret the Pacifist Treaty and rearm Japan.
Beloved by the Japanese public, most people seem to support the emperor's desire to step down.
A Kyodo News poll showed last week that nearly 86 percent of the public would accept an abdication.
If the emperor does step down, it would make him the first Japanese monarch in 200 years to do so.

Japan's
economic landscape has survived more than most. From devastation in
World War II, a miraculous post-war boom, a 'lost decade' in the 1990s
and now, the world's most elderly population, Japan's currently stagnant
economy has carved out a unique set of issues.
The world's
third largest economy hasn't grown in years, with governments
consistently failing to battle deflation, i.e. when prices and wages do
not increase.
Prime Minister Shinzō Abe has been fighting the
deflation problem since 2012, using his own brand of economic standards
known as 'Abenomics' and the ensuing 'economic arrows' - lifelines to
reinvigorate the staticity.
