Three additional Canadians who shared a flight with a person infected with hantavirus have been identified, bringing the total number of Canadians linked to the outbreak to 10, the chief public health officer said.

The three Canadians were not on board the Dutch-flagged cruise ship MV Hondius at the center of the outbreak, but may have been in contact with someone who was infected with hantavirus, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Joss Reimer said on May 8.
