The Hilton Hotel in Saint John, N.B., has been quarantined after a woman who just returned from a foreign country fell ill, according to a platoon chief on scene.  

Responders wouldn't say which country she was in, only that it's not in North America. 

“As a precautionary measure we’ve quarantined the building for now until we can determine what the cause of her illness is,” Saint John police Staff Sgt. Mike King. 

"There was information passed on to us that caused us some concern." 

People at the hotel have been told not to leave. The woman was taken to hospital. 

The general manager of the hotel says the woman was found unconscious by cleaning staff. The Hilton contacted police around 11:40 a.m. 

Four police officers are inside the hotel, while four officers are investigating from outside. 

Public health officials have been called in. Fire crews and Ambulance New Brunswick are also on scene. 

Ken Pearce of Smithville, Ont., checked into the Hilton Saturday night. He left around 10 a.m. to take in the city. When he came back he wasn’t allowed to go to his room to get his insulin. 

“They won’t tell us anything," he said. "We’re just waiting to get back into our room. That’s all.” 

Guests quarantined on the inside told CBC News they don't know what's going on either.
