THUNDER BAY — The number of COVID-19 patients receiving treatment in the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre continues to fall.
TBRHSC reported on Monday that it now has only seven patients who have tested positive for the virus.
This is two fewer than on Friday.
Only one of the COVID patients is currently in the intensive care unit.
The hospital also reported that, over the past week, it has received no patient transfers from other parts of Ontario.
TBRHSC has contingency plans to accept patients from other hospitals if directed by the Ontario Critical Care Command Table.
The hospital's current occupancy rate is 80 per cent.
Despite the improving situation at TBRHSC, the Thunder Bay District Health Unit reported, for the sixth straight day, an increase in the number of active COVID-19 cases.
Including new data collected both Sunday and Monday, it now stands at 69, which is 20 more than low point of approximately the past three months – 49 – which was reached on April 19.
