Community spread declared in Délı̨nę as COVID-19 case count continues to climb rapidly

Community spread declared in Délı̨nę as COVID-19 case count continues to climb rapidly

CBC
Tuesday, January 11, 2022 5:08 AM GMT

Community spread of COVID-19 in Délı̨nę, N.W.T.,  has been declared by the territory's chief public health officer. 

The announcement came Monday evening in a press release as active case counts rise across the territory. 

"After the 9:00 a.m. cut off for inclusion in the daily update to the [government's] COVID-19 dashboard, an additional 27 infections were confirmed in the community, bringing the total number of active cases in Délı̨nę to 30," stated the press release.

Prior to Monday's press release about the new cases in the community, the government's latest COVID-19 numbers showed the number of active cases in the territory to be 910, up by 220 cases over the weekend. Of those new cases, 729 have come in the past seven days. The majority of cases, 504, are in the Yellowknife area.

The number of hospitalizations in the Northwest Territories in the current Omicron outbreak has remained stable since before Christmas.

Late last week Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Kami Kandola said severe outcome data such as hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths provides a better understanding of the COVID-19 situation in the territory than the case count. 

On Monday public health officials declared Stanton Territorial Hospital as a site of a COVID-19 workplace outbreak. A worksite outbreak is declared when "there is onsite transmission of infection that leads to more than one case at the worksite." 

Anyone at the hospital on Jan. 4 to 6 from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., or on Jan. 7 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. must follow these guidelines based on vaccination status:

Last Friday, the territorial government issued 16 COVID-19 public exposure notices, including 13 for locations in Yellowknife, two for Fort Simpson and one for Hay River.
