Coronavirus outbreak: Passengers in 2-metre radius from Canadian coronavirus patient, fellow travellers to be contacted by Canadian health agency

On Sunday, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said that while the world is still learning about the novel coronavirus, it is known to be spread by “droplets” that “land a certain distance,” which is why passengers who sat within a two-metre radius from the infected patient, as well as fellow travelers, will be tracked down by the Canadian government’s health agency.
