After an extensive weekend search, Public Health Ontario says that a bag of bodily fluids reported stolen on Friday has been recovered.

Janet Wong, a spokesperson for PHO, said late on Monday night that the bag had accidently been sent to another healthcare facility. The original courier of the package informed Toronto police this afternoon that the bag had been found.

According to police, a Public Health Laboratories package of bodily fluids, considered to be a biological hazard, was stolen from a courier’s vehicle in the Weston Rd. and Black Creek Dr. area at 1 p.m. Friday. However, Public Health Ontario, the Crown corporation in charge of the labs, has since conducted an extensive search of its facilities and incoming specimens and can account for all transport bags.

Wong said that the bag containing two blood samples and a nasopharyngeal sample was not opened. She added that PHO is following up with the courier to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
