Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office say he and U-S President Donald Trump spoke on the phone today to discuss their countries' response to the outbreak of a novel coronavirus.
Trudeau told reporters today that Canada will continue to provide the international community and World Health Organization with expert advice to ensure the threat to Canadians at home remains low.
The P-M says a process is underway to arrange an airlift of nearly 200 Canadians out of the epicentre of the outbreak in China.
Other countries have already brought some of their citizens home.
