TORONTO — Ontario health authorities say two new cases of the novel coronavirus have been identified in the province.
The latest cases are a woman who returned to Kitchener, Ont., from Italy and a man who returned to Toronto from Iran.
The province’s chief medical officer of health says the total number of cases in the province has now reached 22.
Dr. David Williams says everyone who has tested positive for the virus so far has been isolated.
The first four cases have all been resolved, with those patients twice testing negative for the virus at least 24 hours apart.
Williams will provide an update later today.
The latest cases involve a woman in her 50s who went to Grand River Hospital’s emergency department in Kitchener, Ont., on Tuesday after returning from Italy. She was sent home and remains in self-isolation with mild symptoms.
In the second case, authorities say the man in his 60s went to the emergency department at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre on Saturday. He was also sent home and remains in self-isolation.
