Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer says the coronavirus, that originates in China, has spread to a few other countries by travellers, including the US.

Dr. Saqib Shahab says if you travel and and come home with symptoms of coughing, fever and difficulty breathing , the protocol would have you isolated in the hospital to test for coronavirus and other respiratory infections.

The virus has killed as many as 17 and infected more than 450 people but the Saskatchewan Health Authority says the risk of getting coronavirus in Saskatchewan, and Canada, is low.
