Provincial health officials announced the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases in the Northern Health Region (NHR) that the region has seen in weeks.

The NHR currently has 577 active cases of COVID-19, down from 586 reported Tuesday. Most of the new cases were reported in the current hardest-hit district in the NHR, the Cross Lake-Pimicikamak district. Canadian Armed Forces personnel landed in Cross Lake Feb. 23 to assist in shutting down the outbreak, which has led to a full lockdown throughout Cross Lake and Pimicikamak Cree Nation. There are now 221 active cases throughout the district.
