The infection has mostly been contained to endemic areas in Africa but a recent rise in infections in European countries is leading to concern there could be community transmission.
Public Health Canada announced Wednesday they were closely monitoring the virus after the confirmed case in the U.S. was linked to travel in Canada. The CBC’s Radio Canada is reporting 13 suspected cases in Montreal, but a spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada tells CityNews that no cases have been confirmed at this time.
