Today’s COVID-19 report from the Porcupine Health Unit can be summed up by saying “two new cases, an outbreak and a high-risk exposure alert”.
Both new cases are in the Hearst-Hornepayne area, the result of coming into contact with others. The outbreak is at Innes Transport in Moosonee. Investigation shows the virus in two staff members is related to the workplace.

If you were on either of those trips, you’re asked to self-isolate immediately and call the health unit.
