It says the three other Canadians who have been isolating since last month are being monitored in their 42-day quarantine and are not showing any symptoms.
Officials previously said the four Canadians may have been exposed to the virus aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has said the overall risk to the general population in Canada from the Andes hantavirus outbreak linked to the ship remains low.
