PICKLE LAKE – A pair of COVID-19 cases at the Valard work camp in Pickle Lake are under investigation by the Northwestern Health Unit.
An outbreak has been declared because the two confirmed cases took place within a 14-day period and have no obvious source of infection outside the workplace.
The NWHU says it is working with the company to investigate and ensure proper COVID-19 protocols are in place.
The two cases are self-isolating and contact tracing is ongoing.
