Lynn, the reason that they are moving towards mitigation efforts is because there are many more actual infections than what is being tested and reported. We had 17 new cases in Ontario today...almost half were from travel to the US.
They are closing schools because they believe that many children who are infected exhibit no symptoms, but are spreading the virus. Add to that their poor hygiene habits and cramped quarters and you can spread a virus very quickly! We have about 170 employees in our company. We had 2 employees contacted today telling them that family members had possibly been exposed.
This is a better tracking site from John Hopkins...
