A man in his 50s, who had traveled to the Chinese city of Wuhan, was found at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital.

Within a day of his return, the man became quite ill, Barbara Yaffe, director of Communicable Disease Control Associate Medical Officer of Health for Toronto Public Health, told a press conference in Toronto.

The man is in stable condition, Yaffe said.
