255 Canadians on a cruise ship off the shore of Yokohama, to fly back home

BY , Feb 17, 2020 9:30 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

About 255 Canadians on a cruise ship off the shore of Yokohama, Japan should be on a government chartered plane soon bound for Canada, and ultimately a two-week quarantine in Cornwall, Ontario.

So far none of them are showing symptoms of the virus called COVID-19.

At a news conference in Vancouver federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu says she does not have an exact timeline yet.

As for people coming into Canada from China, Hajdu says this country is taking its cue from the World Health Organization on what measures should be taken.

About 15 Canadians on the Diamond Princess have the new coronavirus, and will not be on the plane home.
