Two members of the Canadian military who recently flew back to Canada from the Middle East have tested positive for COVID-19, the Defence Department said Saturday.
In a statement, the department said the Canadian Armed Forces members were aboard a flight bringing 35 personnel from Operation IMPACT, a Middle East training mission, back to Canada.
The department said personnel at the base, including bus drivers and people delivering meals, adhered to public health guidelines such as the use of personal protective equipment and physical distancing. “The wing has been in contact with public health, and is in the process of contact tracing,” the statement said.
