Nipissing COVID-19 cases take a jump, fueled by Jail Outbreak

The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit reported 23 new cases of COVID-19 yesterday and five resolved. All 23 cases were in the Nipissing District. The change appears to be largely driven by the ongoing outbreak at the North Bay Jail, which the health unit declared on June 13. There have now been 33 cases recorded in the outbreak, up from 18 Monday. The health unit reported on social media that all 33 cases are active. Of those, one involves a staff member.
