Ontario’s health minister says three people in the province with connections to a deadly hantavirus outbreak are not currently being tested for the rodent-borne illness.
Sylvia Jones says the three individuals — a couple in Grey Bruce and a person in Peel Region — are still asymptomatic and isolating.
Jones says Ontario’s top doctor suggests testing on asymptomatic people may not produce “appropriate results,” and at this stage it’s best to monitor for symptoms.
