GREENSTONE, Ont. Greenstone Mayor Renald Beaulieu is appealing to residents of the sprawling municipality to do what s necessary to keep COVID-19 from spreading any farther.
As of Wednesday, there were 15 active cases in Greenstone and surrounding First Nations.
A breakdown of the communities was not immediately available, but on Tuesday there were seven cases in Longlac, seven in Long Lake # 58 First Nation, and two in the adjacent Ginoogaming First Nation.
GINOOGAMING FIRST NATION – A second person has tested positive for COVID-19 in Ginoogaming First Nation.
The community, which borders the town of Longlac about 300 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, received a first positive result on Jan. 13.
That infection was a result of close contact with a previously identified case, said Ginoogaming health director Sheri Taylor.
A second positive case was detected Sunday through follow-up testing. Health workers had completed 42 tests in the community of about 200 residents as of Sunday, and were conducting more.
Anyone tested must continue to self-isolate and monitor for symptoms for 14 days, the band council stated, even if they receive a negative result before then.
