Last Updated Thursday, February 20, 2020 1:46PM ESTTORONTO -- After two weeks under quarantine aboard a cruise ship docked in Japan, Canadians are now being screened for novel coronavirus and cleared to board a government-chartered flight home.
Passenger Jenny Rodrigue and her husband Mark also boarded a bus parked outside the cruise ship at the port in Yokohama, Japan. She said they were told there has been some kind of delay at the airport related to a “technical issue” and that it would be a couple of hours before they left for the airport.
As for the prospect of another two weeks in quarantine in Ontario, she said she’s not bothered by it. “We're good to go and sometime in the next hours we should be heading for the plane at Haneda airport,” she wrote in the post on Thursday. In an interview from their room at the facility, Rose Yerex said they are in an isolated area with the other passengers from the ship who tested positive for the virus, but they don’t have any symptoms.
“We can see each other through this experience so that’s kind of a silver lining in the dark cloud,” she said. “As long as I’m feeling good, then no I’m not scared. If I start feeling symptoms then I’ll be scared.”
Curious as to why they're not being quarantined in Trenton but instead are coming to Cornwall in our Nav Center where they could potentially expose our whole city to the virus. This is not an isolated facility, it's a place frequented by many local people.
