More than 200 Canadians are en route to a quarantine center that's been established in Cornwall, Ontario, just across the U.S.-Canada border from Massena. The Canadians were passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan. So far, all have tested negative for the highly contagious coronavirus.

The Canadians will be housed in quarantine for two weeks at a privately owned training center in Cornwall. 47 Canadians who tested positive for the virus were not allowed to make the flight home.

Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement said she wasn't consulted about the plan to establish a quarantine center in the border city. Speaking with the Montreal Gazette newspaper, she acknowledged that some citizens were concerned by the decision.
