Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says Canadian passengers on the Coral Princess cruise ship will be headed home today, after undergoing a health screening.
Champagne says in a tweet that Canadians who don’t show any symptoms of ******** will be allowed to disembark the ship in ******* and get on a flight chartered by Holland America.
The minister says they’ll be screened again upon arrival and subject to a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period.
Some passengers were allowed off the ship yesterday but Canadians weren’t among them, due to new guidelines by the U.S. Centers for ******* Control guidelines.
Those guidelines said cruise passengers shouldn’t board commercial flights, meaning only those with chartered flights were able to disembark.
