Status of cases in Ontario
Every weekday at 10:30 a.m. ET, this web page will be updated with the most up-to-date information on the status of cases in Ontario.
The symptoms of the 2019 novel coronavirus, which can include fever and cough, are similar to other respiratory infections, including influenza. As a result, individuals who may simply have the flu are being tested out of an abundance of caution and in line with Ontario’s robust detection protocols. This means that most individuals who are tested are unlikely to be infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus.
