Hospitals failed to flag 700 positive COVID-19 tests to Ontario's public health units
Mixup means thousands of contacts of confirmed cases were not traced for weeks

Hundreds of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Toronto area were not flagged to public health officials because of a mixup between two hospitals, CBC News has learned.
The positive tests were completed as far back as April but the 12 public health units involved were only notified about the oversight in the past few days. The bulk of the cases involve people living in Toronto, Peel Region and York Region.
The oversight means thousands of contacts of the confirmed cases were not traced by public health workers, potentially contributing to wider spread of the coronavirus in recent weeks （疏忽意味着公共卫生工作者没有追踪到数千例确诊病例，这可能导致最近几周冠状病毒的广泛传播。）.
Many of the positive test results have now been added to Ontario's public health database but about 430 will be added to the count in the coming days, a senior provincial official told CBC News on Monday evening.
