A quarantine station in Italy. Pic: (Claudio Furlan/Lapresse via AP) Ontario health officials have announced they’d detected the 12th case in Canada so far. Each of the Canadian cases so far can be traced to a particular visit abroad. Hajdu says as the virus spreads to more countries, travellers should recognize there could be a risk if they leave Canada. She says it’s important that people know that international travel may have exposed them to the novel coronavirus and they may not know it. Meanwhile, Canada’s border measures to guard the country against incoming cas- es of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, will likely become less effective as the virus spreads, the country’s chief medi- cal officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Monday. Canada has so far been able to detect and isolate cases of coronavirus as patients arrive in Canada thanks, in part, to passen- ger screening at international airports. So far Canada has confirmed 11 cases of the virus. The virus has also begun to spread from person to person in several countries outside China, where COVID-19 was first detected. The last few days have seen sud- den increases of cases in Italy, Iran and South Korea. “These signs are concerning, and they mean that the window of opportunity for containment, that is for stopping the global spread of the virus, is closing,’’ Tam said. “It also tells countries like Canada, who have been able to detect and manage im- ported cases thus far, that we have to pre- pare.’’ The main concern is that people without symptoms, or with only very mild symptoms, could be spreading the virus in countries that don’t have the means to de- tect cases, Tam said. www.WeeklyVoice.com Friday, February 28, 2020 | A-7

TORONTO: Canada could see a record- breaking $50-billion worth of investment in commercial real estate this year as eco- nomic tailwinds and immigration policies support the booming sector, according to a report by CBRE but it says the strong economy is also creating challenges of af- fordability and supply. The commercial real estate services firm said Tuesday that total investment would be about $5 billion higher than 2019 and about a billion dollars higher than the re- cord set in 2018.

The actor, who was last seen in the 2019 action thriller “Saaho”, returns in a yet-untitled film that will be directed by “Ma- hanati” director Nag Ashwin. Not much is known about the film except that just like the “Ba- hubali” franchise and “Saaho”, this film too will be an ambitious, mega-budget project. Shooting will begin later this year with a large part shot all over Europe. The film is produced by Vyjay- anthi Entertainments, a banner that completes 50 years in busi- ness.

By Nauman Farooq

The acronym SUV stands for, Sport Utility Vehicle; how- ever very few SUVs are actually sporty to drive! There are some exceptions, and one of them certainly is the Jaguar F-Pace. Ever since this ve- hicle was launched in 2017, it has impressed with its sporty perfor- mance and road manners. Jaguar could have just rested and left things as they were, but they had other plans! The result of their restlessness is this, the F-Pace SVR – an SUV with a supercharged 5.0L V8 un- der the hood, four-wheel drive traction, and a bark that can scare some sports cars back into their garages! I got to spend a few days with one; and here’s how it went. unless you’re on the de-restricted Styling: Aesthetic appeal is a sections of the German Autobahn. personal thing, but I always liked Thankfully, its big brakes are the way the Jaguar F-Pace looked. also more than capable enough It’s not as boxy as most SUVs, to haul you down from a speed and in the right color and rim run, although, you do have to be package, it looks stunning! firm on the brake pedal to get the My tester, which came wearing maximum out. “Ultra Blue” paint (which is very Most SUVs, even sporty ones, similar to ‘French Racing Blue’) fall off the road if you try to drive and “Black” 22-inch wheels – them quickly through twisty, looked absolutely stunning! country roads.

Pricing: The 2020 Jaguar F- Pace SVR will set you back $92,000. Add the options that my tester had, plus the freight charge, and your bill before taxes will be $104,463. That might sound like a lot for the masses, but it is a bargain compared to most of its competi- tors. Verdict: I’ve always said that a fast SUV is an oxymoron; these big, heavy vehicles aren’t meant to go fast, and no execution of this genre of vehicle had impressed me enough to want to own one.
