KENORA The Northwestern Health Unit says it is closely watching the COVID-19 situation in Thunder Bay, where the number of cases has risen steadily over the last few weeks.
In light of the worrisome trend in the city, in a statement on Tuesday the NWHU urged members of the public to be vigilant with COVID prevention measures. Case numbers continue to rise in the community [Thunder Bay], and they are now in the Grey-Lockdown level of the province s COVID-19 responses framework, the statement noted.
The NWHU is advising people in its service area – which includes Kenora, Red Lake, Sioux Lookout, Dryden, Fort Frances, Atikokan and numerous First Nations communities –against any non-essential travel to areas with a higher risk, such as Thunder Bay.

By the numbers alone, Greater Sudbury would be in the Red Zone right now, having had 85 new cases of COVID-19 reported in the service area in the past seven days, with 32 of these cases reported in one day alone.
Furthermore, Public Health Sudbury and Districts is advising that 28 COVID-19 cases have either screened positive or been confirmed for the more transmissible virus mutations, called variants of concern (VOC).
“It’s an assessment on a weekly basis by the provincial medical officer of health that then makes recommendations to the provincial cabinet,” said Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, medical officer of health with Public Health Sudbury and Districts, during a virtual press conference Tuesday afternoon.
