Nearly everyone is asymptomatic in the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak at Electromart, an east-end Hamilton business that is the second location in the city to screen positive for variant cases of the virus. Everybody s doing well, except for my son who has a cough, says employee Joan Orgel, whose husband owns the electrical supply business near Parkdale Avenue North and Nikola Tesla Boulevard.
Her son, who is 19, was the first person to be tested after developing symptoms, she told CBC Hamilton. There are now five confirmed COVID cases at the family business and two additional employees who are self-isolating.
Hamilton Public Health Services is reporting 28 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday. There are 435 active cases of COVID-19 in the city with no new deaths linked to the virus in the last 24 hours.
