No change in COVID test positivity rates in the Northwestern Health Unit catchment area.
It went up point-one of a percentage point from two weeks ago to 15.2%.
The number of cases considered serious is at 132, compared to 151 from the last report.
This number is lower than the ‘real’ number due to the fact many people are not eligible for PCR testing and instead test positive on Rapid Antigen tests at home and are not counted in the total.
