Ontario publishes this statistic and updates it twice daily [1]. It was just under 2% but started to creep up. To understand the numbers better it helps to know that currently there is about a 6 day wait on the test results. Until very recently criteria for testing were very stringent (2+ symptoms, recent travel), and even then only 2% were found to have it, which - in my understanding - disqualifies the idea that virus was already around for a while.
