We are seeing fewer COVID-19 infections across Ontario as we near the end of the lockdown.
Ontario is reporting 981 new cases, the third day with fewer than 1,000 cases since the start of the month.
In the Thunder Bay District, health officials are reporting 13 new cases.
Of those, ten were infected through close contact, one had no known exposure, and two are still under investigation. Two more people are being treated in hospital for COVID-19 symptoms.
The Thunder Bay District is now at 152 active cases.
Provincially, Public Health Ontario says case counts may fluctuate because of “continued data quality checks and remediation activities” after Toronto Public Health joined the province’s Case and Contact Management system.
The province’s seven-day average case count is just under 1,100, close to what we were seeing back in early November.
This story will be updated with the Northwestern Health Unit cases when they are announced.
