A cruise ship carrying 251 Canadians has been quarantined off the coast of Japan following a confirmed outbreak of the new coronavirus.
A statement from Princess Cruises says ten people have tested positive for the virus, but none is Canadian.
The ship is carrying a total of 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew.
It will remain under quarantine for the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, the second presumptive case of Wuhan coronavirus has been identified in B.C., bringing the total of Canadian cases to 5.
The viral outbreak that began in China has so far infected more than 24,500 people globally with 490 deaths reported.
Canada aims to evacuate some 300 of its citizens tomorrow from the quarantined Chinese city at the epicenter of a coronavirus outbreak, but the planned flight was still awaiting final Chinese approval.
