The Northwestern Health Unit is reporting three new cases of COVID-19 in the Kenora region.
Follow up with the individuals and their known contacts is underway and anyone identified will be notified right away.
For reasons of privacy, the health unit does not release or comment on information about the location of COVID-19 test results.
Information about gender, age and method of transmission will be posted to the Ontario COVID data website when it is available.
Officials recommend that everyone assume COVID-19 is in their community and practise preventive measures like physical distancing, wearing a mask in enclosed public spaces and when physical distancing is a challenge, good hand hygiene, and not touching their face.
Anyone who has symptoms, or who has been in contact with a positive case, should self-isolate and get tested.
For information about getting tested, please visit the NWHU website for instructions on how to schedule an appointment at an assessment centre.
