One leap forward, two leaps back.
That seems to be what’s happening to our COVID-19 rates in the region.
The seven-day positivity rate has increased to 17.8 per cent, up from 16.1 per cent earlier in the week.
The one bit of positive news is that the number of active high-risk cases dropped to 240, down from 259 in Wednesday’s report from the Northwestern Health Unit.
