There’s\u00a0been an increase in COVID-19 cases in the North Bay Parry Sound district over the week ending July 22.<\/p>\n
The health unit reports 23\u00a0new cases of the virus over those seven days, bringing the total active case count<\/a> to 27. Five of the new cases are in children under the age of 12.<\/p>\n
Medical officer of health, Dr. Jim Chirico, says the cases stem from small social gatherings at the beginning of the month where people did not distance.<\/p>\n

“This has a ripple effect across the district. One of these COVID-19 cases also tested positive for the delta variant and we suspect more cases will test positive for the delta variant,” he said.<\/p>\n
Chirico is asking those who haven’t been vaccinated to get their shots \u2014 especially to protect children who can’t be vaccinated.<\/p>\n
“Our children have been through so much since the beginning of the pandemic including interruptions to in-person learning, not being able to see and\u00a0play with their friends and pauses in their extracurricular activities and sports,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The last thing we want is for them to get sick with COVID-19, or to worry about their parents getting ill with COVID-19.”<\/p>\n
Chirico is urging residents to remember to consider the risks prior to\u00a0gathering with those outside their households.<\/p>\n
“The impact\u00a0of your actions goes well beyond\u00a0you.”<\/p>\n
