The active known case load in the region fell to 17, as recoveries outpaced new infections.
One person from the area is currently hospitalized. There has been one death in Grey Bruce due to Covid.

Public Health says there are no outbreaks at any long-term care or retirement homes, or any schools or childcare centres in Grey Bruce.
However, the health unit says it’s continuing to work with the Bluewater District School Board to address a previously identified probably Covid case, now confirmed positive, and a second probable case associated with Highpoint Community School in Southgate.
“While there are two individuals with probable and confirmed COVID-19 associated with this school, our assessment, to date, indicates that transmission did not take place within the school environment,” a release from Public Health explains. “There is strong evidence that transmission occurred outside of the school.”
On vaccination progress: 1,500 doses have been administered in Grey Bruce to date.
