UPDATE AT 7:30pm: Five more cases confirmed in Timmins, all from contact with another case, all now in isolation. Brings total to 361.
Four new cases of COVID-19 are being reported by the Porcupine Health Unit… including one at Extendicare Timmins.
Because it’s a long-term care facility, that constitutes an outbreak. PHU doesn’t specify whether it’s in a resident or a staff member.
Two other cases are in Timmins and one in the area between Fauquier (FOH-kee-ay) and Opasatika (OH-puh-SAT-ih-kuh). The people behind cases 353 to 356 are all in isolation.
