“Through our active surveillance and testing, we have recently identified two community clusters of COVID-19 associated with large family connections.”

Both Dix and Dr. Henry say in their statement that the identification of these two cluster in the province show that while provincial cases may be low, “COVID-19 is active and spreading in our communities.”

The duo are reminding the public that when you bring households together, everyone brings their own risk with them as well as increasing the risk for potentially spreading COVID-19.

“This is why fewer faces and bigger spaces needs to continue to be our guidepost for how we move forward.”
