The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's confirmed fourteen more COVID-19 cases, one in an unspecified "district community", the others in the Thunder Bay area - it's unclear how two were exposed, while the others stem from close contact with a known case.
This comes as the health unit's warning of low risk exposure at a Bath and Body Works in Thunder Bay, and revising its travel recommendations, urging residents "avoid all non-essential travel outside of Northwestern Ontario", and - if they do go - stay home and avoid interacting with those outside your household for fourteen days upon returning - especially from high-risk areas - monitor for symptoms, and - if any develop - self-isolate and get tested.
That health unit - which entered the yellow "protect" category of Ontario's tiered restrictions framework yesterday - has reported 247 cases, 82 of which are currently "active".
Public Health Sudbury and Districts - which is also in the yellow "protect" category - currently has ten "active" cases, while Algoma Public Health has only one and the Porcupine Health Unit has three, one outside its region.
