It’s official: Quebec has its first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19.

Public health authorities in the province made the announcement Friday evening in a statement after receiving test results from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. Health Minister Danielle McCann had disclosed the probable case Thursday.

The patient, a Montreal-area woman, had just returned from a trip to Iran via Doha, Qatar, Monday when she went to a medical clinic that same evening because of “mild” symptoms, McCann said. Her condition did not require hospitalization, and she is now in voluntary confinement at home.

Authorities in Quebec have finished locating “close contacts” of the patient and issuing “appropriate recommendations,” the provincial health ministry said Friday. Similar efforts are also under way in connection with the woman’s flight to Canada.

The unidentified woman becomes the 15th person in Canada to be diagnosed with the virus in Canada as of Friday — alongside seven people each in Ontario and in British Columbia. The Public Health Agency of Canada has assessed the public health risk associated with COVID-19 as low.

Twenty-one people in Quebec were still being investigated for the virus as of Friday, while 91 people have tested negative, according to the daily tally published on the health ministry’s website.
