COVID Cases Drop Locally; Not So Much Province-Wide

After two straight days of 12 COVID-19 reports, the Northwestern Health Unit is reporting a quiet Sunday.

Only one new positive test result is being recorded and that comes from the Sioux Lookout Health Hub.

Follow up with the person involved and their contacts has started according to protocol and anyone who is identified as a contact will be notified directly.

The Thunder Bay District Health Unit announced Saturday that it would stop releasing COVID-19 updates on Sundays.

The province is seeing a big jump in cases, confirming 4,456 new positive tests.

Over three-quarters of those are in hot spots in southern Ontario.

As the vaccine rollout continues, Health Minister Christine Elliott says Ontario has administered over three-million doses
