The global spread of the novel coronavirus comes during one of the busiest travel times of the year for Canadians, looking for a getaway while kids are out of school for March break.

TORONTO -- Cindy Perry was all set for a March break trip to California with her wife and their two children, but the novel coronavirus outbreak that is sweeping the globe made her reconsider her plans.

"Obviously California is not a place where we can easily get ourselves back to Canada if, for example, they decide to cancel flights into and out of the States," she said. The airline has also expanded and increased the frequency of sanitation procedures, in light of coronavirus concerns. In addition to regular cleaners, airline staff are now also using hospital-grade Clorox wipes and spray.

Toronto's Pearson International Airport has added extra hand sanitizer stations in the arrivals areas and is more frequently cleaning those spaces, including kiosks and bathrooms. High-traffic areas are regularly disinfected, the airport authority said. Public health and the federal government are strongly urging people to check the online travel advisories which are updated hourly. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also urged Canadians to register with Global Affairs before travelling outside the country.

Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, said Canadians with international travel plans during March break should do a "precautionary assessment."
