As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, the Porcupine Health Unit is receiving support from other regions.
Due to the significant increase in cases and outbreaks, the health unit asked for support from the province and another northern health unit for contact tracing.
"Individuals may receive a telephone call from Public Health Sudbury and District, Stats Canada, or Provincial Workforce on behalf of the PHU to notify them that they have a positive COVID-19 test result or have been identified as a close contact and should arrange for testing," reads the bulletin.
"They may see a phone number from outside the PHU region on their call display (e.g. 509 area code). We are asking individuals to please cooperate and follow the public health recommendations provided."
