The Health Unit says as positive cases of COVID-19 start to rise in the district it’s important to remember to be kind to individuals with the virus, to respect them and their privacy.

Officials posted the message on social media saying fear of public exposure and judgement by the community may cause people not to seek care or advice.

They say this will not help to manage the pandemic and will result in more people getting sick.
