The Health Unit issues weekly reports on COVID-19 activity and risk in the region.
Reports include the overall risk level to the public, as well as risk levels in five related categories.
These include Reported Confirmed Cases, Wastewater Signal, Weekly Percent Positivity, Weekly Declared Outbreaks in Institutional Settings, and Active Hospitalizations due to COVID-19.
All categories are currently rated as ‘lower’ risk levels.
