There are now four confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Niagara.

Niagara Region Public Health says it’s a 58-year-old man with a history of travel.

Health officials say he was likely the source of infection tied to the Region’s first case of COVID-19.

He had very mild symptoms lasting only a day, so COVID-19 was not initially expected.

The man has fully recovered, but remains in isolation at home, waiting for confirmation that he’s no longer infectious.
