At least five people have taken up a job offer to clean a quarantine centre for the crew of the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan.

The job involves six days of cleaning in response to one of the biggest single outbreaks of coronavirus outside China.

A fourth passenger died from the virus on Tuesday and more than 690 have been infected. There are 850 cases in total in Japan.

At least five people have so far been recruited by cleaning company Broadspectrum which said the job would be undertaken under strict safety and medical processes managed by Aspen Medical.
