Lab tests show a person under quarantine at the St. Catharines hospital does not have the coronavirus, according to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. In an email to The St. Catharines Standard, Ministry spokesman Travis Kann said the ministry received the lab results this morning. He did not answer questions about other possible coronavirus investigations in Niagara. In an email sent to Niagara Health staff Monday, Niagara Health executive vice president of clinical services Derek McNally said that based on the patient’s symptoms and travel history the patient was being tested. It will take 48 to 72 hours to confirm the lab results.
