There are three new active cases of COVID-19 in Huron Perth including two in area healthcare workers.

Huron Perth Medical Officer of Health Dr. Miriam Klassen gave an update Thursday afternoon and said one of the healthcare workers is employed at Knollcrest Lodge in Perth East.

Medical professionals have learned that it’s not always necessary to declare an outbreak at a home if proper steps are taken, according to Dr. Klassen.

The other healthcare worker is in Huron County, with one more case in Perth County.

There have now been 68 cases of the virus overall in the region with 64 resolved.

The death toll remains at 5.
