Health officials are urging Canadians to avoid travelling on all cruise ships to protect against the spread of the novel coronavirus.

“Most of Canada’s cases include travellers from an affected area, or their close contacts,” Tam said. B.C. is investigating several cases that havethat it would be chartering a plane to transport Canadians from the Grand Princess after it docks. There are approximately 3,500 people on board the vessel. The ship had previously been forbidden from docking in San Francisco due to evidence that it was linked to existing cases.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu added that Canadians who cannot get on the plane “will be cared for by the U.S. healthcare system, and our consular services will remain in close contact throughout the duration of their illness.” Michael Zrobin, a Canadian aboard the ship, told CTV News Channel on Sunday that, although they’ve been receiving updates on the situation from the ship’s captain, they haven’t been told the nationalities of the two passengers who tested positive for the virus.

Hajdu said that “some provinces are indicating that they have deficits,” though she did not provide specifics. When asked why no sterner warnings regarding travel on cruise lines had been delivered before Monday, Tam said that officials are “constantly learning” as the virus spreads.

JustinTrudeau AndrewScheer OMG..parody account.. inept Gov't hires inept top doc.. everyone knows that from the cruise ship in Japan months ago. Is this the best she can do. Test everyone coming from hotspot Covid-19 areas and quantarine otherwise we will be like Italy

Duh.... I've known this for years!!!

She is liar!

I sure would hope never to see the bottom Doc.

I've got an idea. Why don't we do what Trump is doing instead of NOTHING.

CTVNationalNews Shrug....

So no more charter flights to go get them. They have been warned, even though they should have figured it out the first time it happened!

BIAST!

Everyone entering Israel will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days. Foreign nationals who cannot self-quarantine will be refused entry. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What is Canada waiting for?

Any connection between raw sewer dumps and the Coronavirus?

This has to be a parody account😂😂😂

Wow. How many studies did she do to determine this. The ships are petri dishes without an outbreak.

Canada is screwed..... All Travel should be stopped. In or out.

Thanks Tips!!

CTVAtlantic Is this report from China or Canada?

So I just over heard people in my area are going on a cruise next week. Are people not heeding the warnings? What about airplanes?

Why does a Doctor have to tell us that?

CTVAtlantic Never thought of that. Brilliant.

CTVAtlantic Highly intelligent this one...holy hell!!

Any public transportation should be avoided

TashaKheiriddin This is good advice at any time.

Thank you for helping out a total of .0002% of the Canadian population. Clearly you know how to take care of things.

CTVAtlantic Maybe now people will listen? (not likely..)

What paid genius stayed up all night thinking about that? Duh!

She looks like she’s already got it

I wasn’t planning on it but ok 👍

Says This Crackhead

I can’t imagine how gross the Disney Parks will be. There’s no way they can keep up with disinfectant. Way too many hands from around the world & so full during Spring Break.

There is actually a strong argument against that. Because of the duration of a cruise, it will be more likely that an infected person will be become apparent whilst in that confinement, making it easier to contain and quarantine that community of people.

Is the government pay me back all the money I’ll lose if cancel? This was all booked over a year ago, I’m going unless I’m reimbursed.

duh

No shit sherlock

What about Planes ✈️ no mention. Open borders People coming back from China Iran Italy and other places. Trudeau Is Useless TrudeauTheWeak trudeauisnotfitforoffice TrudeauMustGo

Insurance premiums alone might be a deterrent soon ..

Why just cruise ships, why not airplanes It’s time to learn the lesson from past mistakes.

She finally changed her narrative from calling us all racists against asians to the severity of the virus - that originated from China - like most sh*tty things!

Should also folllw that up with Taxis, Subways, Planes, hotels and theme parks. You’re on a cruise long enough to display symptoms... you likely picked it up on your way...
