Ontario health officials have confirmed a fourth case of COVID-19 in Niagara.
A 58 year old man contracted the virus while travelling.
He is the person that gave COVID-19 to the first Niagara patient we announced last week.
The 58 year old has recovered, but is waiting at home in self-isolation for confirmation that he is no longer infectious.
According to Niagara Region Public Health, the 58 year old man experienced a very mild illness with only one day of symptoms, and therefore did not suspect he had COVID-19.
It was only through the investigation of the elderly family member that they were tested and found positive for COVID-19.
