THUNDER BAY — The Thunder Bay District Health Unit is taking steps to enhance its ability to enforce self-isolation requirements for people diagnosed with COVID-19.
In a statement Tuesday, the TBDHU said the class order strengthens its opportunity to quickly enforce self-isolation at a time of high case numbers in the Thunder Bay area, and when there are increasing numbers of COVID-19 variants circulating in the province.
“Self-isolation of individuals with COVID-19, anyone who has symptoms that could be COVID-19 and anyone who has been in close contact of someone with COVID-19 is an important part of reducing the spread,” DeMille said.
