- Ontario’s Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health, announced the first two confirmed cases in Ontario of the COVID-19 variant first identified in the UK.
This variant was been detected in multiple countries beyond the UK, including Denmark, Belgium, Australia and the Netherlands by this time. With inbound international travel, it was not unexpected to have identified the new variant in Ontario. Ontario was the first province to identify this variant thanks to the proactive work of the Public Health Ontario Laboratory.
The cases were a couple from Durham with no known travel history, exposure or high-risk contacts. Both individuals were informed and were in self-isolation as per public health protocols. - Publisher
