Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here.
Yesterday, health officials in British Columbia announced a new presumed case of novel coronavirus. The patient was a woman in her 50s from the metro Vancouver area who had recently been in close contact with visitors from Wuhan. I think this would be the first instance of domestic transmission in Canada.
Does this possible case of secondary infection change your assessment of risk posed by the coronavirus to Canadians, and how do you plan to respond?
This is for either Ms. Namiesniowski or Dr. Tam.
