With more Canadians expected to arrive home and be quarantined over fears of the novel coronavirus, Health Minister Patty Hajdu is visiting the military base where several hundred people are waiting out the incubation period under quarantine.

Canadian Forces Base Trenton is housing Canadians airlifted from Wuhan, China, where the virus was first detected.

Hajdu met with health workers, Canadian Forces members and staff from the Red Cross, who are all trying to keep the people in quarantine healthy and not too bored while they wait out the incubation period for the respiratory illness.

Following the meeting, Hajdu spoke about the quarantine and confirmed that there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 among those Canadians quarantined at CFB Trenton.

She also addressed the expected return of passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, saying that the plane would return home to Canada by the end of the week, but did not set an exact timeline for the flight's arrival.
