The Walpole Island Health Centre will be closed for the next few days.

Programs on the First Nation community have been closed for over a week to test staff for COVID-19 and disinfect facilities to help prevent any further spread of the virus in the community.

Now, it’s the Health Centre’s turn.

Lambton Public Health has taken over COVID programs until the Health Centre reopens Monday morning.

There are currently three active cases of COVID-19 on Walpole Island with 16 tests still being processed.
