A COVID-19 variant has been discovered at a Barrie long-term care home.
The strain was found in six tests and comes in the midst of a massive outbreak at Roberta Place Long Term Care.
A second test still needs to be conducted to determine the exact strain but the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit says the initial test shows a high chance that it is a variant “strain of concern.”
