TORONTO -- Federal officials now say a third person who was not on the hantavirus-stricken ship but was on the same flight home as two Canadians who left the vessel is isolating.
Anita Anand, the foreign affairs minister, says a Canadian who “may have come into a contact with a symptomatic individual” is among those being monitored by local authorities.
Two individuals are located in Ontario, and one is in Quebec.
Anand says Ottawa is sending consular officials to support Canadians on the cruise ship where the hantavirus outbreak has led to three deaths.
More to come.
