A woman in her 20s who is said to be doing “quite well” is the third presumptive case of coronavirus infection in Ontario, health officials announced Monday morning. The woman is in isolation at home. Toronto Medical Officer of Health Dr Eileen de Villa says the woman’s condition had been “improving and resolving for a couple of weeks now,” after she travelled to Wuhan and the Hubei province of China in January, prior to the region being cut off from the outside world on January 23.

De Villa said that when the woman arrived in Toronto on February 21, she was told to call Telehealth Ontario, who after learning of her travel history and symptoms, told her to go straight to North York General Hospital. “Since arriving in Toronto the individual has had very limited exposure to others,” de Villa said. She said they are following up with everyone who sat within two seats on the plane with the woman diagnosed with the virus. Ontario’s three other patients, a Toronto couple in their 50s and a London woman in her 20s, have all since fully recovered.
