Daily News – Fri. September 11 2020

Here’s your CFRC daily news brief for Friday, September 11 2020.

There are three new active case of COVID-19 in the region. A male and female in their 30s both tested positive; these cases are unrelated. A 19-year old female was diagnosed and it is travel related, and medical officers do say that no cases should stem from hers. With students now starting school, and a surge of young adults migrating back to Kingston as many post-secondary students begin their semester, Kingston Health Sciences Centre has reported that more people are getting tested for COVID-19 to ensure their safety. The KFL&A Public Health Unit also reminds community members that wait times may be over an hour as the return to school has increased the requests for testing. The COVID Assessment Centre, located at the Leon’s Centre on 1 Tragically Hip Way, is open from 9am to 4pm daily.

Updated from KFL&A PHU: 1 previously active case has resolved, bringing Kingston’s current numbers to 115 total cases, 112 resolved, and 3 active. For more information on current status of cases from KFL&A visit https://www.kflaph.ca/en/healthy-living/status-of-cases-in-kfla.aspx
