The Public Health Agency of Canada says it is investigating cases of mysterious, severe hepatitis found in children across the country.
The federal agency told The Epoch Times that it is working closely with the international community to understand the outbreak, which has affected almost 200 children around the globe.
“The Public Health Agency of Canada is working with its international partners as well as provincial and territorial partners to gather information on this evolving situation,” the agency said in an email on April 28.
“Potential cases in Canada are being investigated further to determine if they are related to cases in the United Kingdom and the United States. We will continue to provide updates as the investigation evolves and new information becomes available.”
