The Northwestern Health Unit has reported no new cases of COVID-19 across the region.
Currently, there are 10 active cases in the district. Six in the Rainy River region, one case each in the Dryden/Red Lake and Sioux Lookout health regions, and two in the Kenora Health region but one of those cases was reported outside of the NWHU catchment area.
NWHU recommends that everyone, including those who have been vaccinated, assume COVID-19 is in their community and practise 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.
