MARATHON, Ont. Town council in Marathon believes the Grey Zone lockdown resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak in the City of Thunder Bay is unnecessarily hurting communities hundreds of kilometres away.
Council passed a resolution Monday night asking that Marathon be returned to the less-restrictive Red Zone if the province extends the Grey Zone declaration for the District of Thunder Bay beyond March 15.
The overwhelming majority of the 374 active COVID-19 cases in the Thunder Bay District Health Unit s service area are located in Thunder Bay.
Marathon Mayor Rick Dumas says there are no active cases in his community.
