August 27, 2020 - Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU) has been advised that a recent positive test on a TBDHU area resident was incorrect due to a technical issue at the lab that analyzed the test. This lab is in southern Ontario and not one of the labs in our area.
Repeat analysis of the initial sample and a repeat test done locally were both negative for COVID-19.
This individual is no longer considered a case and will be removed from the case count provincially and from our reporting on the TBDHU website.
For additional information on the status of COVID-19 cases in the Thunder Bay District Health Unit area, please visit the TBDHU Website.
