A better day for COVID-19 results in the region.
But the Northwestern Health Unit says there were still nine positive cases.
Five of those came in the Sioux Lookout region and four in the Kenora area.
Follow up with the persons involved and their contacts has started according to protocol.
Anyone who is identified as a contact for these cases will be contacted directly.
COVID-19 cases are gradually declining with 20 new cases in the Thunder Bay District.
That makes 362 active cases in the District, after the area spent nearly two weeks with over 400 active infections earlier this month.
Cases are trending upward again province-wide, as Ontario reports 1,791 people testing positive. It’s the province’s third day in a row with more than 1,700 new cases.
