An eastern Ontario MPP who was recently vaccinated against COVID-19 says he's come down with a mild case of the illness. Jim McDonell, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Stormont–Dundas–South Glengarry, said in a statement that he went for a test after experiencing cold-like symptoms earlier in the week. "I am unsure of where I may have contracted the virus," he wrote Friday. "My symptoms are very mild, and I can attribute this to the recent vaccination I had received." As of Friday afternoon, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, which includes the riding of Stormont–Dundas–South Glengarry, reported 268 active cases of COVID-19.
