The latest case of COVID-19 reported in the Red Lake is a worker at an area mine.
The Northwestern Health Unit isn’t saying which mine the case from as not to cause panic where there shouldn’t be any.
Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ian Gemmill says the investigation is ongoing and anyone who could have potentially been a contact will be notified.
Gemmill doesn’t think the individual picked up the virus at the workplace.
He says they haven’t seen any signs of worry for workers as the individual has not been in the occupational setting for many weeks.
