The Flin Flon district saw the most cases of any district in the NHR aside from the Cross Lake/Pimicikamak district, where 28 new cases were found. The origins and exact location of the Flin Flon district cases - aside from them being somewhere in Flin Flon, Snow Lake, Cranberry Portage or Sherridon - are unknown. At least one case has been directly linked to a Flin Flon school. Ruth Betts Community School announced March 5 that at least one person at the school had tested positive earlier in the week and was at the school March 2 during a period when they may have been infectious. The person was in the Wolf cohort of the school, which consists of some of the school s Grade 3, 4 and 5 students. A letter was sent out to parents and the public on the school s official Facebook account March 5.
