Two of the region’s First Nations are dealing with COVID-19 cases.
The Wabaseemoong Independent Nation northwest of Kenora has three cases of COVID-19, while one person has tested positive in Wauzhushk Onigum Nation near Kenora.
The Northwestern Health Unit hasn’t confirmed if these are part of yesterday’s update, which listed three cases in the Kenora area and two others in the Rainy River region.
Anyone who might need to isolate or get tested will hear from health officials directly.
