The agency said 484 of the confirmed cases, or about 74 per cent, were in Toronto, and all but five cases were reported among males. The average age of all confirmed cases in the province is about 36, and confirmed cases range in age from under 20 to 74. “I think, in a remarkably short period of time, we’ve been able to limit the spread of this virus in Ontario,” he said. “I just can’t thank all those involved as it’s clearly been successful for Ontario.”
