How did it get to Iran and in such numbers? I understand that China is one of the few nations on friendly terms with Iran and likely has more travel than most to Iran, and then there's the pilgrimages to muslim sites, but still, reports are that thousands have the virus in Iran.
Law of exponential growth? You only need one case to start a chain of infections locally.
Public health officials confirm this latest COVID-19 diagnosis is Ontario's first instance of local human-to-human spread of the virus.
The husband of a Toronto woman who was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Tuesday night has also tested positive, representing Ontario's first confirmed instance of local human-to-human transmission of the virus.
On Wednesday, public health officials said a Toronto woman in her 60s who returned from Iran on Feb. 15 tested positive for the novel coronavirus, prompting public health officials to put her husband and her son into home self-isolation and embark on a mission to reach out to anyone she had come into contact with over a nine-day span.

No surprise to this one given the amount of exposure the husband would have received in close quarters.
