~ From the health unit: December 10, three cases (Barrie, Innisfil and New Tecumseth) were removed as they were re-assigned to different Public Health Units. There were several cases re-assigned to different municipalities upon further review of the address - due to increasing volumes in cases these changes will no longer be documented on this change log.
