The health unit said one was in his 60s and had close contact with a confirmed case transmission. He also had the E484K and N501Y mutations.
The second was in his 70s and had no known epidemiological link for the virus, which means that a link to a close contact with the man has not been identified. It is suspected that he contracted the virus through community transmission. The N501Y mutation was detected.
