The Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) region is moving to the Red-Control status after an increase in COVID-19 cases in the area. The Red-Control level adds a number of restrictions that will affect people, businesses and organizations, the NWHU said. Organized sports practices and games are cancelled, with the exception of training sessions for team members (training sessions are limited to 10 people indoors, and 25 outdoors, and must not include games or scrimmages and all drills and activities must allow for 2 metres of distance between individuals). A full list of Red-Control restrictions is available on the provincial government's website. In a media release issued Friday, the hospital said visitor restrictions remain in effect, with limited exceptions for end-of-life patients and other extenuating circumstances.
