Grey Bruce Health Unit declares COVID-19 critical threshold amid case surge, ‘untruthful’ contact tracing
Grey Bruce Health Unit has issued an urgent warning for the region and has declared a COVID-19 critical threshold due to soaring cases and trouble conducting contact tracing.“If we do not implement drastic measures at this juncture, the pandemic will spiral out of control,” a message posted on the unit’s Facebook page Wednesday evening said.“We have identified over 70 new confirmed cases across Grey Bruce in the last 36 hours with the potential to generate hundreds of additional close contacts.”The public health department said the major driver in cases has been people not following Ontario’s lockdown restrictions.
