Health officials say a case of corona virus has been identified in B.C.
But provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says the first case is not unexpected.
She says a man in his 40s returned to the Metro Vancouver area last week from a trip to Wuhan, China and began showing symptoms of the virus a day or two later.
Henry says the man had already self-isolated himself so any contact was primarily limited to family members but none of them have shown symptoms and the man is recovering in isolation at home.
Health officials say the risk of spread remains low in B.C.
