COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing for the Thunder Bay District Health Unit, which reported triple digits for the first time on Sunday.
In total, the health unit recorded 151 cases over the weekend, though 111 were on Sunday alone - nearly double the previous daily record of 61, set Thursday.
Five of this weekend's cases were in unspecified First Nation communities, one in an unspecified "district community", the remaining 145 in the Thunder Bay area.
In total, the health unit has seen 1994 cases since the pandemic began, with 470 currently "active", including 37 in hospital, 11 in intensive care.
The region also has Ontario's highest "incidence rate" for the week of February 25th to March 3rd, with 202.1 cases per 100,000 residents - more than double the next highest, Brant County's 90.2.
