Ontario identified three more people infected with COVID-19, the Ministry of Health said Sunday evening, raising the province’s number of confirmed coronavirus cases to 32. The third is a man in his 50s who presented himself to Brampton Civic Hospital after returning from Germany March 7. “In both cases, the hospital took all necessary precautions and followed standard operating procedures, including testing and assessment,” the statement said of the first two cases. In addition, the province will announce on Monday a new public notification protocol for its website that monitors coronavirus news. Of the 32 confirmed cases in Ontario, four have been resolved, with those patients having had two consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart, according to the ministry’s Sunday statement.
