The second case of coronavirus has been confirmed in Ontario.

Testing confirms a woman returning home from China with her husband contracted the virus.

Her husband has tested positive for the virus after the couple in their 50's visited Wuhan, the Chinese city at the epicentre of the outbreak.

 Health officials say the man remains in isolation in hospital, while the woman is in stable condition at home in self-isolation.

 Toronto's chief medical officer of health says authorities have reached out to most people who may have had close contact with the couple.

Meantime, a patient in isolation at St. Catharines hospital was tested for the virus after arriving at the ER Monday morning.

The person was tested due to symptoms and travel history.

The Ministry of Health reports the test results have come back negative.
