It could just mean everyone who has the slightest cold is panicking and heading to the emergency room.

IF ANYONE HERE feels they may have COVID-19 now or in the future, do NOT just go to urgent care or the ER or your doctor unannounced.  Call ahead.  Let them know you are coming, so they can meet you before you walk in where others are.  They will, at the very least, give you a mask and maybe escort you in through a side door.   (Heck, for all I know, they may come to you, what with the apparent protocol of home "isolation".)

From the SCC guidance:

Do not go to the emergency room unless essential. Emergency rooms need to be able to serve those with the most critical needs. If you have symptoms like cough, fever, or other respiratory problems, contact your regular doctor first.

6 more today; total of 20. No information as to source yet. (IMO, it doesn't matter much any more whether case #21 traveled overseas. The majority of cases have gotten the disease in SCC.)

Edit: SCC has updated their website and took away any information other than the total number of infections. None of the HIPAA-allowed information such as gender, age, 3-digit zipcode, etc.
