Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu says officials are on top of a new coronavirus that originated in China.
She says three potential cases of the virus in Canada, all involving people who had travelled to China, have been investigated and ruled out.
Earlier today Beijing reported that six people have died and 291 have been infected in China.
Shares of the three U-S airlines that fly to China are falling today as investors worry the virus could spread beyond Asia, like the SARS outbreak that started in 2002.
