The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) reported one new case of COVID-19 in the Huntsville area today. The case is a woman aged 18-34 whose infection is the result of close contact with another case.

Today’s case brings the total number of cases for Huntsville to 27 to date, three of which are currently active. One is in hospital. There have been a total of 85 cases in Muskoka to date (four of them active) and 1,720 in Simcoe County. (For a full list of Huntsville and Lake of Bays cases to date, and other COVID-19 updates for the area, visit our COVID-19 page.)

The health unit reminds everyone to practise social distancing and other control measures to help stop the spread of the virus, including:

  • Limit your close contacts (the people you can hug and touch without physical distancing) to only those people within your own household and maintain two metres (six feet) physical distancing from everyone else.
  • Individuals who live alone may consider having close contact with another household.
  • Think carefully about how often you go out and what is essential
  • Parents must screen children for symptoms of COVID-19 every day before they leave for school; if a child has even one symptom, they should stay home and self-isolate.
  • Those in the workforce should also monitor for symptoms and stay home if they have even a single symptom.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Sneeze and cough into your sleeve.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
  • Avoid contact with people who are sick.
  • Wear a face covering in all indoor public spaces such as businesses, organizations, or riding on public transit. Also wear a face covering when physical distancing is not possible. Make sure it fits. Learn how to wear it properly and follow the dos and don’ts.
  • Self-isolate if you think you have symptoms of COVID-19, have a chronic medical condition, or are over 70.
