WINGHAM, ONT. After weeks of near zero cases, Huron-Perth has joined the third wave. Thirty-two new cases were reported over the weekend, bringing the total number of active cases to 70. Active cases haven’t been that high in Huron-Perth since the end of the 2nd wave. Of those 70 active cases, 45 are variants of concern. The health unit says this surge in cases in largely due to workplace outbreaks, leading to household spread, along with social interactions. There are currently three workplace outbreaks, one congregate living setting outbreak, and one long term care outbreak, in Huron-Perth. An employee tells CTV News that one of the workplace outbreaks is at a Stratford factory, where as many as 100 employees are currently in isolation.

WINGHAM, ONT. For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, there are vaccines stored and ready to be deployed in Huron and Perth counties. “We’re bringing the vaccines closer to the residents, closer to the people in Huron and Perth County,” says Huron County Warden Glen McNeil. Vials of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Huron-Perth last week, and are being stored at the Clinton headquarters of the Huron-Perth Health Unit, in an ultra-cold freezer donated by Bruce Power. “Having it Huron-Perth is great. We’re less worried about the weather, and the longer transport. It just provides us some additional ease,” says Huron-Perth’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Miriam Klassen.
