THUNDER BAY – A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Hogarth Riverview Manor- Birch/Spruce Grove Resident Home Area.
According to the Thunder Bay District Health Unit in a release issued on Friday, a single staff member was recently confirmed to have contracted COVID-19, and under provincial health measures, that’s enough to declare an outbreak at the facility, a long-term care residence.
