Toronto public health officials say two people in the city may have West Nile virus. They say an 80 year old man and a 32-year old woman are the first two ”probable” human cases of the virus in the city so far this year. The suspected cases come a day after the city said that more than half of its mosquito traps have tested positive for West Nile – a record since monitoring started a decade ago. Meanwhile, York region officials say their mosquito pools have the highest number of West Nile bugs since 2006.
