A woman in her 60s is the fifth case of novel coronavirus in Ontario, the Ministry of Health said in a news release Wednesday.

The woman went to Sunnybrook hospital Monday and had travelled to Iran, where a rash of new cases have recently emerged. She was cared for using appropriate precautions, and the woman was discharged to her home the same day and went into self-isolation, the ministry said in a news release.

Her tests have been sent to the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg awaiting confirmation.

Toronto Public Health is actively tracing contacts and following up with her and her close family and friends.

Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s top public health official, and Dr. Eileen de Villa, the city’s medical officer of health, will provide an update Wednesday at noon.
