Police first issued a public appeal for information on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, York Regional Police said they have reached out to neighbouring police services but are not aware of any missing persons reports involving the woman. Wong is current receiving care at a local hospital, police say. She is described as Asian, with a thin build and short hair.
