Another 15 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Huron and Perth Counties over the weekend.  There are two new cases in Howick Township, six in North Perth, three in Stratford and four in Perth East.

Huron Perth Public health reported Cedarcroft Place Retirement Residence continues to be in outbreak, and two more residents who had tested positive for COVID-19 passed away since Friday. Eleven residents who had the virus have died. There are thirteen active cases among residents, and 19 residents have recovered.  All 19 staff members who had COVID-19 have recovered.

There are no active long-term care home outbreaks and no active school outbreaks

Huron Peth Public health is clarifying why the region is now at the Orange-Restrict level of public health measures. Some of the factors include rates of cases and hospital capacity locally and in neighbouring regions.

It also looks at the rates of cases without a known chain of transmission, which suggests community transmission. And the ability to keep up with contact and case management.
