The Northwestern Health Unit says the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 (commonly known as the U.K. variant) has been detected in the Dryden area.
The detection of the variant only came Thursday from a positive test result already on the NWHU books.
Medical Officer of Health Doctor Kit Young Hoon says this isn’t cause for panic but rather a wake-up call.
“The presence of a variant of concern in our area emphasizes the importance of prevention measures. Stay 2 metres from anyone you do not live with, wear a mask, practise good hand hygiene, and limit the number of people you socialize with,” says Young Hoon, “The threat of COVID-19 in our area is very real.”
