After a spike in cases, the Northwestern Health Unit is considering additional COVID-19 restrictions for the Kenora Area.
“Case and contact management is ongoing, in partnership with other agencies and we’re monitoring the situation very closely,” says Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kit Young Hoon. “We are also looking closely at whether additional restrictions are going to be required for the Kenora Area. That will have to be considered through conversation also with the province, they have powers at the provincial level with respect to broader restrictions.”
There are 68 active COVID-19 cases in the Kenora region, with a bulk of them reported this past weekend. (At time of article written)
