Algoma Public Health reported a confirmed case of Covid-19 in Elliot Lake and area on Thursday evening (January 14th).
Gagnon says the public should interpret this case as a reminder to avoid travel and only gather with those in your immediate household. It only takes one exposure to lead to large numbers of COVID-19 cases (such as parties, family gatherings, workplace exposures, etc.)
He adds above all, be kind to one another. “We will get through this together by following public health guidance and provincial regulations. There is no need to identify or publicly shame any group or person or paint an entire community with stigma. We know the vast majority of Algoma residents are taking precautions. Let’s continue to encourage and support each other. Stay home stay safe.”
