Ontario’s top medical official has announced three new cases of the novel coronavirus in Toronto, bringing the total in the province to 31.
Dr. David Williams, the chief medical officer of health, says the patients are two women and a man, all of whom had recently travelled outside of the country.
The first case he announced involves a woman in her 40s who had returned from a trip to Colorado on March 2.
The Ministry of Health says all precautions and operating procedures were followed when the woman first went to hospital.
The other two cases were announced later in the day — a woman in her 60s who returned from France on March 2 and went to hospital on March 7, and a man in his 60s who was in Washington, D.C., until March 3.
All three are now in self-isolation and Toronto Public Health is tracking people that they were in contact with.
