The number of COVID-19 cases in Canada grew to 24 on Sunday, as Ontario announced four new ones.
All four new announced cases had links to either Iran, or one of the earlier COVID-19 cases, health officials said. Iran has 978 people infected with the virus, and 54 dead as a result.
British Columbia remains at eight cases after health officials announced a woman who had recently travelled to Iran had returned with a ‘relatively mild’ case of the virus.
Worldwide, more than 88,000 people have been infected and 3,000 have died as of Sunday.
