Not a dramatic change in COVID rates across the region.
The test positivity rate has gone up slightly from 15.8% to 16.3%.
The Northwestern Health Unit is reporting 103 active cases this week.
That’s down from 149 in the previous update.
Local health officials note the numbers are 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.
