The Northwestern Health Unit has confirmed one new COVID-19 case has been found in the region.
The new case was discovered in the Rainy River Health Region. The new case will not be added to the active case count as it has already been resolved.
Currently, there are two active cases connected to 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.
