Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says there were 228 Canadians on board a plane that landed at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, Ont., carrying passengers from the Grand Princess cruise ship.
The ship is now docked in Oakland after idling for several days off the coast of California.
Champagne says a handful of Canadian crew members on the ship have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and will have to stay on board.
Some Canadian passengers also stayed behind for medical reasons unrelated to the virus, and are being cared for by the California health system.
There were 237 Canadians among the 3,500 passengers and crew on board the Grand Princess.
