More cases have been confirmed in Marathon and other parts of the Thunder Bay district.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's confirmed two more cases in the Thunder Bay area while the Marathon Family Health Team's confirmed three recently reported cases are in that town, bringing the community's total to ten.
It notes an outbreak has been declared at the Barrick Hemlo, Williams Mine, with employees and contractors who worked Day Shift from November 21st to 25th and/or Night Shift from November 26th to 29th asked on Saturday to go home and self-isolate, as they're considered "high risk contacts".
The health team's also reported a second case at the Holy Saviour School, which has - in turn - moved to distance learning due to the rise in positive cases in Marathon, while students, staff, and other members of that school community are urged to watch for symptoms.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's reported 376 cases, with 110 currently active, including three in hospital, one in an I-C-U.
This comes as the Thunder Bay District's seen restrictions tightened, having moved into the orange "restrict" category of the province's tiered restrictions framework today.
Algoma Public Health only has one "active" case, while Public Health Sudbury and Districts has five, and the neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit has eight.
