The only new cases reported this week included a single resident each in New Tecumseth, Barrie, Gravenhurst, and Innisfil. The Gravenhurst case is linked to travel and the remaining three are listed as community-acquired.
For the week of August 2, the health unit reported seven new cases, and the week before that reported 19 cases.
