Possible COVID-19 variant in local long-term care home triggers probe © Nick Brancaccio There are currently COVID-19 outbreaks at both Windsor Regional Hospital campuses in the city.

The province’s enhanced screening detected the more highly contagious variant inside a local seniors’ facility, but the region’s top doctor on Thursday said the health unit suspects it may be a false positive. “The one under question is linked with a long-term care home. That’s why we’re investigating it to make sure we get it right,” said Dr. Wajid Ahmed.
