The federal government says there are now 43 Canadians on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan who have contracted the novel coronavirus.
Meantime about 225 others from the Diamond Princess are set to arrive home later this week.
Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu says it's not yet clear just how many of those Canadians will be airlifted home.
But she stresses that any sick people will have to stay in Japan for treatment.
The healthy Canadians who come home will have to be quarantined for another two weeks in Cornwall, Ontario.
