3 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in Thunder Bay district on Monday

Three new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the Thunder Bay district on Monday.

The Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU) said one case is due to travel outside of the region, while the other two are under investigation.

All three cases are in Thunder Bay and surrounding areas.

Two cases were also listed as resolved; as of Monday morning there were three active, confirmed cases of the virus in the TBDHU region.

Meanwhile, a previously announced case was confirmed Monday to be a variant of concern.

However, that case wasn't part of Monday's totals. While every positive COVID-19 test is screened for a variant, that screening takes place after the case is reported to public health.

According to a table on the TBDHU's website, every case of COVID-19 announced in the Thunder Bay district since July have either been confirmed or are presumed to be the Delta variant.
