Bit late, a week after March break ended.


i have no clue how close it is now since they're not reporting where new cases are found anymore. Too many, I guess my town will alert us when people start testing positive here.

There is no information regarding gender, ages, locations or means of transmission for all of the new patients on the government's website. "Information for all cases today is pending," the website states.

Yaffe said that of the 993 cases in the province, data relating to transmission of COVID-19 is still missing in roughly 40 per cent of cases as public health units continue to report their findings. "Of those we know about, a third had travelled in the 14 days before becoming ill," she said.

"The most common source of exposure has been in the United States. The second most common source is Europe. Ten per cent of the cases had close contact with a confirmed case and 16 per cent had neither," which Yaffe says is evidence of community transmission.
