A top Olympic official made clear Friday the 2020 Games in Tokyo will not be cancelled despite the virus that has spread from China. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong) Giuseppe Valiante, The Canadian Press Published Saturday, February 15, 2020 1:05PM EST Last Updated Saturday, February 15, 2020 3:21PM EST MONTREAL - An elderly Quebecois couple from Gatineau, Que., aboard the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, their daughter said on Saturday. Diane, 73, and Bernard Menard, 75, are confined to their cabin and awaiting transportation by ambulance to a military hospital where they will be kept in isolation until they no longer test positive for the virus, Chantal Menard told The Canadian Press in an interview. “They are very fragile and weak,” Menard said. “It's been two days, they are resting ... they have fever. My mother is coughing a bit.” She said her parents' symptoms are similar to those of the common cold. The couple are among the 67 new positive cases of COVID-19 virus detected aboard the ship, which has been under quarantine at a port city southwest of Tokyo since Feb. 5, according to a statement issued Saturday from Jan Swartz, president of the cruise line. Swartz said a total of three Canadians were part of the 67 new cases discovered on the Diamond Princess. In total, 285 people have tested positive on the ship, following the new cases discovered Saturday. Theresa Tam, chief public health officer at the Public Health Agency of Canada, said on Saturday that 15 Canadians on the Diamond Princess have tested positive for the virus. Tam told reporters during a media conference call the Canadian government has deployed three officials from the country's public health agency to help the Canadians who are under quarantine on the boat and in Japanese health facilities. Menard said her parents were on the last day of their month-long tour of Asia when they learned the boat was under quarantine. “They had packed their suitcases, went for dinner, and when they got back the ship's authorities had put their suitcases back in their rooms,” she said. “It's very difficult for us, very difficult,” Menard said of the toll the news of her parents' health has taken on the family. “They are elderly. We are very worried. They are on the other side of the world and we feel helpless.” Meanwhile, there are about 400 Canadians under quarantine at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in southern Ontario. They were repatriated by Canada from the Chinese province of Hubei, which includes the city of Wuhan, considered as the epicentre of the outbreak. “I am pleased to report that everyone quarantined at CFB Trenton is healthy with no symptoms of novel coronavirus infections,” Tam said. Should that continue, she said, those who arrived at the base on Feb. 7 will be able to leave on Feb. 21, while those who arrived on Feb. 11 can leave Feb. 25. Tam said there are eight people in Canada who have tested positive for the virus, following news on Friday that a new case was discovered in British Columbia. There have been three cases in Ontario and five in B.C., pending confirmation of the latest case by a laboratory. Tam said the risk to people in Canada remains low: “The fact we've been able to quickly detect these cases and prevent the spread of the virus in our community shows that our health system is working as it should.” The viral outbreak that began in China has infected more than 67,000 people globally, mostly in the central Chinese province of Hubei. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Feb. 15, 2020. -- With files from The Associated Press.

Media Statement For Immediate Release Saturday, February 15, 2020 Contact: CDC Media Relations (404) 639-3286 Diamond Princess Repatriation The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is supporting the Department of State-led mission to repatriate U.S. citizens who want to return to the United States from Japan, currently aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. HHS is committed to protecting the health and safety of all Americans. To fulfill our responsibilities to U.S. citizens, as well as to reduce the burden on the Japanese healthcare system, the U.S. government recommends that U.S. citizens disembark and return to the United States for further monitoring. These measures are consistent with the careful policies we have instituted to limit the potential spread of the disease. There are approximately 400 U.S. citizens onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Due to the dynamic nature of the outbreak, the U.S. government recommends that U.S. citizens disembark and return to the United States. Americans returned by flights chartered by the State Department will be subject to a 14-day, federal quarantine and be housed at two existing federal quarantine sites for repatriated travelers: · Travis Air Force Base in California · Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas Those passengers returning from Japan will be housed separately from individuals already in quarantine from previous Wuhan repatriation flights. All travelers from Japan will be screened before boarding the State Department-chartered aircraft to prevent symptomatic travelers from departing Japan. These planes will be met by a team of U.S. Government personnel deployed there to assess the health of the passengers. The passengers will be screened before leaving the ship and monitored and evaluated by medical and public health personnel every step of the way, including before takeoff, during the flight, and after arrival. U.S. Government staff will conduct risk assessments to ensure the health of each traveler, including temperature checks and observation for respiratory symptoms. Travelers will be monitored during the flight to Travis Air Force Base where all travelers will be screened again. Any passengers taken onward to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland will be monitored during that flight as well and screened upon arrival in Texas. This is an evolving situation and every day we learn more about this virus. We continue to believe the risk of exposure to novel coronavirus 2019 to the general public is currently low. The U.S. Government is taking these measures to fully assess and care for these repatriated Americans to protect them, their loved ones, and their communities. We are deeply grateful to the government of Japan for their extraordinary care and hospitality and their assistance facilitating the care and return of our citizens.

Visitor who had ‘cold-like symptoms’ in Hawaii diagnosed with coronavirus in Japan Visitor who had ‘cold-like symptoms’ in Hawaii diagnosed with coronavirus in Japan By HNN Staff | February 14, 2020 at 12:15 PM HST - Updated February 14 at 5:46 PM HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A visitor who exhibited “cold-like symptoms” while in the islands earlier this month was diagnosed with coronavirus after returning to Japan, officials confirmed. In a news conference Friday, state health officials said: The adult male traveler did not have any symptoms while visiting Maui from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3. But he did begin to exhibit “cold-like symptoms” while on Oahu from Feb. 3 to Feb. 7. On Oahu, he stayed at the Grand Waikikian by Hilton Grand Vacations. The state is still seeking more details on his exact itinerary, including which flights he was on. He was diagnosed with the virus on Feb. 8, after returning to Japan. Japanese news reports say that he had a fever of about 102 degrees. The governor and state Health Department sought to reassure the public about the risk of transmission and stressed that the state’s health care facilities are equipped to handle additional cases if they arise. “We do believe this is a serious concern,” said Governor David Ige. "As we get more information about his specific itinerary or places that he visited, then we will examine that and identify any of those workers who might have been exposed.” State Health Director Bruce Anderson said it’s likely the visitor was exposed before he left for Hawaii or while on his way here. “The Department of Health is sending out a medical advisory to all the health care providers in the state to be on alert for possible cases,” said Anderson. They also said Hawaii residents can take precautions now to reduce their chances of contracting the coronavirus ― and the seasonal flu. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/02/14/governor-japanese-visitor-recently-hawaii-confirmed-have-coronavirus/

MAUI AND OAHU Posted on Feb 14, 2020 in Newsroom HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) was notified today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that an adult male who traveled to Maui from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3 and to Oahu from Feb. 3-7 has been confirmed for COVID-19. The individual is a Japanese national who developed severe symptoms, sought medical care, and was diagnosed and tested after leaving Hawaii and returning home to Japan. The Department of Health was informed that the individual had no symptoms while traveling on Maui and developed cold-like symptoms with no fever while staying on Oahu. The department has begun an investigation and is working closely with state, federal and county officials. A medical advisory was sent out today to alert the healthcare community in Hawaii to be vigilant about possible cases. “The Department of Health has been expecting and preparing for identifying a travel-related case in Hawaii because of the widespread outbreak in China and other areas of the world. The state is more than ready with aggressive control and prevention measures as we work closely with our medical community and response partners,” said Health Director Bruce Anderson. “We are committed to keeping the public fully informed and will continue to provide updates as this situation unfolds.” “The individual had no symptoms while on Maui and was not contagious,” said Dr. Sarah Park, state epidemiologist. “There is no increased risk on Maui from possible exposure. On Oahu, the individual had cold-like symptoms with no fever. I have alerted physicians that it’s possible that cases may surface sometime before Feb. 21 because the onset of illness is generally within 14 days.” While traveling on Oahu, the individual stayed with his wife at a timeshare at the Grand Wakikian by Hilton Grand Vacations. The individual did not seek medical care in Hawaii and may have worn a mask during parts of his travel. DOH was informed that the individual wore a mask during his flight back to Japan. Using an mask when you are ill can protect others from becoming infected. The Department of Health is committed to sharing information as it becomes available. People are urged not spread misinformation or inaccurate statements that are not confirmed, and keep updated and informed on the situation. Everyone can help prevent the spread of respiratory illness with these everyday actions. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. Get your flu shot. With current seasonal influenza activity, it is likely there will be confusion as persons with influenza will exhibit similar signs and symptoms such as fever and cough. We strongly recommend residents 6 months and older protect themselves against flu by receiving the seasonal influenza vaccination.

New Coronavirus Infections Confirmed on a Cruise Ship Quarantined at Yokohama Port (Part 9) The cruise ship Diamond Princess, which arrived at Yokohama Port on February 3, is undergoing quarantine at sea, but due to its long-term stay on board, it is considered high risk from the viewpoint of ensuring health. A new coronavirus test was carried out, mainly by one, and positive results were confirmed for 67 (including 38 asymptomatic pathogen carriers) of the 217 patients whose results were found. In the future, it will be transported to medical institutions with infectious disease wards. Positive cases were confirmed in 285 of the 930 patients tested (including 73 asymptomatic pathogen carriers). Those who are transported include elderly people and foreign nationals, and it is necessary to take measures that take into account physical conditions. The press is requested to give special consideration to coverage of this matter. Quarantine of the cruise ship continues to be implemented. A new coronavirus test is conducted for those who need it, and the results will be announced later.
