Huron Perth Public Health has confirmed that there are three positive cases of COVID-19 in residents at Cedarcroft Place Retirement Home in Stratford.
The confirmed cases are symptomatic and in isolation, and HPPH is conducting contact tracing to identify any additional exposures.
These are the first confirmed cases in residents at a retirement home in Huron Perth.
“This outbreak is a serious reminder that COVID-19 is still here in Huron and Perth despite our relatively low case numbers over the past month,” says Dr. Miriam Klassen, Medical Officer of Health.
“Seniors are a vulnerable population and are more likely to experience severe symptoms of COVID-19. We as a community must do all we can to protect our vulnerable residents. I urge everyone to continue following public health guidance to protect each other’s health.”
Huron and Perth residents are being reminded to continue to practice good hand hygiene, maintain physical distancing, wear a face covering, stay at home if you are sick and download the COVID-19 Alert mobile app.
