Four more cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Simcoe County and one in Muskoka District today.
Three cases have been reported out of Bradford-West Gwillimbury. Yesterday the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit reported eight new cases out of Bradford, but two of them have been transferred to other health unit districts due to their primary residence address.
The Bradford residents reported today are all female, two in their 30s and one in her 50s. All the cases are reported as community-acquired.
The other Simcoe County case reported today is a woman in her 60s from Adjala-Tosorontio. The Muskoka case is a man in his 60s from Hunstville.
Two of the Bradford cases reported yesterday, an Innisfil case reported yesterday, and the Adjala-Tosorontio case reported today are all deemed workplace-related transmission. This is a new designation from the Simcoe Muskoka health unit, and, in this case, is related to outbreaks on two unnamed farms in Simcoe County.
Dr. Charles Gardner, medical officer of health for the region, said one farm has a confirmed nine cases in workers and the second farm has confirmed three cases. Of all the cases, four are residents of Simcoe Muskoka region, so only four of the cases are included in the health unit’s list of COVID-19 cases.
Gardner said all the farm workers have or are being tested. He said the health unit will not be releasing the name or location of the farm as he does not consider naming the farms as necessary for public health safety.
The health unit has confirmed a total of 527 COVID-19 cases in the region to-date and 442 of those people have recovered.
There have been 36 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the region. There are currently 47 active cases of COVID-19 in Simcoe County including five people in hospital (two in intensive care). There are two active cases of COVID-19 in Muskoka District.
