Authorities Trying To Contact People Who Sat On Plane Near Canadian Coronavirus Patient

The man flew on Southern Airlines Flight CZ311.

Canadian health authorities are trying to get in contact with anyone who may have been sitting near Canada’s first Coronavirus patient.

The man, who authorities say is in his 50’s, flew into Canada from China, despite showing ‘mild-symptoms’ on the flight.

It was Southern Airlines Flight CZ311, which flew into Toronto’s Pearson Airport from Guangzhou, China. It arrived January 22.

There are concerns, since the man’s wife now appears to be the second case of Coronavirus in Canada. The man is in isolation at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital, and is said to be in stable condition. The woman is in ‘self-isolation’ at home.
