OTTAWA — All Canadians evacuated from a flu-hit Chinese region will be placed in quarantine for 14 days once they arrive at a military base in the province of Ontario, Health Minister Patty Hajdu told a news conference on Monday. Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said a total of 304 people were seeking to be flown out. The Canadian government has chartered a plane but does not yet have permission for it to land in China, he told the news conference. (Reporting by David Ljunggren Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
