Ontario’s ministry of health says it is now testing 10 asymptomatic people with connections to a hantavirus-stricken cruise, a shift from government remarks made earlier this week.
The province says the three “high-risk” travellers—two who were on the cruise and one who was on the same flight as a person who has since died of hantavirus—will stay in strict isolation regardless of their result.
