The region's health unit has confirmed seven new cases of COVID-19 in Simcoe County plus one more case whose location is not yet listed.
Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has reported cases in Barrie, Bradford West-Gwillimbury, Midland, Tay Township and New Tecumseth today.
The health unit last reported a case in Midland two months ago on April 29. Today's case, a man over the age of 80, is the seventh case reported in the municipality. The transmission source for this new case is still under investigation.
Similarily, Tay Township hasn't had a reported case in more than a month with the last positive result in a resident reported on May 19. Today's reported case is a woman between the ages of 45 and 64 and her case is community-acquired.
There are two cases reported in Barrie today, a man between 65 and 79 who is a close contact of a known case, and a man between 18 and 34 whose case is associated with travel.
There is one new case in Bradford, a woman between 45 and 64 years old, and the transmission source remains under investigation.
The New Tecumseth case is workplace related, and the person who tested positive is a woman between 45 and 64 years old.
The final case reported today is a man between 18 and 34, but the man's location and transmission source are still pending.
The health unit previously reported the ages of positive cases within a ten year window (ie. 60s, 70s), but today has changed the way it reports demographic age groups. According to the health unit website, the change to six age groups is in line with "usual reporting practices and to better protect the privacy of cases."
