For the second day in a row, the Northwestern Health Unit has reported no new cases of COVID-19 in the district.
There are currently two cases in the Kenora Region, one case in the Sioux Lookout region and one case listed in the Kenora region, but that case is currently outside of the NWHU catchment area.
NWHU recommends that everyone, including those who have been vaccinated, assume COVID-19 is in their community and practice preventive measures like physical distancing, wearing a mask in enclosed public spaces and when physical distancing is a challenge, good hand hygiene, and not touching their face. Anyone who has symptoms, or who has been in contact with a positive case, should self-isolate and get tested. For information about getting tested, please visit the NWHU website for instructions on how to schedule an appointment at an assessment centre.
