A Canadian who returned from Trinidad and Tobago recently has tested positive for coronavirus.
At a press conference on Monday, Alberta’s chief medical officer Dr Deena Hinshaw said the number of confirmed cases of covid19 in the province had doubled to 14. She said all of the cases were travel-related.
She named TT as one of 11 destinations that patients had visited.
The others were France, the Netherlands, Egypt, Iran, Taiwan, Germany, Malaysia, Panama, the Philippines, and the US.
Hinshaw said many of the travellers had visited more than one country during their trip and so could not say where each patient may have contracted the virus.
She added that one of the people who tested positive had travelled in the Caribbean on the cruise ship the MS Braemar.
That cruise ship docked in Port Royal, Jamaica.
