Only one of the three Port Dover residents aboard the Diamond Princess will be returning to Canada in the next few days.
Yesterday, we reported that Greg Yerex tested positive for the COVID-19 virus aboard the quarantined cruise ship in Japan while his wife Rose and friend Kate Bedding were cleared.
Now, Kate had posted on social media that there was an error with the testing and that Rose had also tested positive for the virus.
When speaking briefly with Rose yesterday, she said that Greg had shown no symptoms of the coronavirus when he tested positive and that she was in good health.
Both Rose and Greg will now be moved to a hospital in Japan.
Kate will be brought back to Canada where she will once again be placed in quarantine before she is allowed to go back to Port Dover.
Over 500 people have tested positive for COVID-19 on the ship over the past two weeks.
