The COVID-19 situation has taken a turn at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
We now know there are 40 presumptive cases of coronavirus as the result of one patient who came to the hospital in earlier in the week who did not appear to show any symptoms.
However, after it became obvious the person did have the illness officials started to connect the dots to find out what patients and staff had been exposed to the COVID patient.
All 40 have been tested and so far four results have come back as negative.
The hospital’s incident manager for COVID-19 Dr. Stewart Kennedy stresses there are still only two confirmed cases at the hospital and they are not in the intesive care unit but in the COVID-19 section of the facility.
