Two new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed at a long-term care home in Stratford.
Huron Perth Public Health confirmed the cases on Wednesday.
The long-term care home has been identified at Greenwood Court.
HPPH says both residents are in isolation at the home, and anyone Greenwood Court is following up with close contacts.
This is the third confirmed case of COVID-19 in a long-term care setting, as the first was confirmed over the weekend at Hillside Manor near Sebringville.
As of today (Wednesday) all three confirmed cases are experiencing symptoms but are not hospitalized.
In a statement Medical Officer of Health Dr. Miriam Klassen said “These confirmed cases are indeed concerning. “Seniors are a vulnerable population and are more likely to experience severe symptoms of COVID-19. We are following up and monitoring these situations closely. Unfortunately we expect to see more COVID-19 cases in long-term care homes in Perth and Huron Counties in the coming weeks as more test results come in.”
