Ontario has 27 people being tested for Wuhan coronavirus, but most remain in their own homes and there is “no evidence” of person-to-person transmission here, provincial health officials say as the number of confirmed cases remains steady at two. None of them are listed as being presumed to have the virus because of contact with others, such as other family members, who are confirmed cases. To date, 38 people in Ontario with recent travel histories to China have been cleared by tests for the new coronavirus, but may have other bugs like the common flu. The number of confirmed cases and deaths in China has risen dramatically in recent days as testing has become more widespread. There are now at least 7,800 people infected with the Wuhan coronavirus globally, most of them in China.
