THUNDER BAY – An COVID-19 outbreak that spread rapidly through the area’s homeless and precariously housed community has been declared to be over.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit on Thursday said it took a collaborative and sustained effort by a number of community organizations, targeted vaccinations and enhanced prevention and control measures to get the outbreak under control.
Outbreaks were declared in January at both the Thunder Bay District Jail and the Thunder Bay Correctional Centre, which helped fuel the spread in the homeless community.
