A Canadian who recently arrived in Canada after being aboard a coronavirus-stricken cruise ship in Japan has tested negative for the illness while under quarantine in Cornwall, Ont.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says the person is part of a group of 129 Canadians and their families who landed on Canadian soil Friday morning after spending weeks confined to cabins aboard the Diamond Princess ship.

The group is expected to undergo another two weeks of isolation at the Nav Centre in Cornwall, Ont., where they will be monitored for potential signs of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. The agency says one person reported feeling unwell after arriving in Canada and was tested for the virus but the results came back negative.All of the passengers were tested for the virus by Japanese officials before they left the ship, which has been docked in Yokohama, Japan, since early February.

Meanwhile some Canadians who were on the cruise liner, Westerdam, have came back home and just been told to self-quarantine. No news on that?

Good to hear

Thought there was no way to test

Guy sitting on couch reading this tests negative for corona virus.

Keep testing them

Not good enough

This is how Korean health officials handle it..... Health Canada on the other hand puts them up in a school dormitory.....With severe sarcasm dont you just love the Liberals? Always having their own self interests of how they personally look over the safety of the country..

Knowing how unreliable the test for COVID19 are. We can only hope these people will be retested.

I don’t believe you. Test them again.
