Passengers who were taken to hospital but found to be stable will be quarantined in hotels and motels throughout California, Newsom said.Canadian Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said 228 Canadians were repatriated and would be quarantined for two weeks after landing at the Trenton air force base.
