SASKATOON -- The Saskatoon airport says it's in frequent communication with federal and provincial health agencies and is ready to respond to any updates regarding coronavirus.

The airport has not been directed to enact any screening measures for communicable diseases, vice president CJ Dushinski said in an email to CTV News.

Standing protocols for communicable diseases are part of the airport's emergency response plans but at this point, they have not been enacted. The last time its emergency response plan for this type of incident was put into place was in 2003 for the SARS outbreak.

The University of Saskatchewan is monitoring the situation closely, in tandem with the City of Saskatoon and the Saskatchewan Health Authority, U of S spokesperson Gord Hunchak said in an email to CTV News.

"As part of our regular emergency preparedness, the university already has an emergency management plan with protocols and procedures in place in the event that we need them.

"We have partnerships with a number of institutions throughout China and we are working to get a full view of how the coronavirus may affect current and planned activities. We are advising our staff and students to follow the Government of Canada's travel advisories regarding travel to and from the affected areas."

Two cases have been recorded in Ontario, as well as one in British Columbia.
