The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is reporting one new positive case of COVID-19 – a health-care worker employed in Renfrew County and district who resides in the Pembroke area.
The Dec. 11 updated case summary showed 24 health-care workers, including 12 employed outside of Renfrew County and district (up one from the previous day). There have also been changes to the number of community and school cases. The RCDHU is now reporting 19 school cases (seven staff members and 12 students), but the number of community cases is 147 (down one from Dec. 10). It appears as though the latest school case was initially reported as a community case then adjusted.
