Chatham-Kent’s active COVID cases have been cut nearly in half.

Public Health is reporting no new cases again today and five resolved, lowering the total active caseload to just six.

That’s the lowest it’s been since October, 2020.

Local vaccination efforts continue, including a mobile clinic at the Mary Webb Centre in Highgate today.

Meantime, there’s a chance for Ridgetown residents to get their COVID vaccine this week.

The Thamesville Family Health Team and Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres are holding a special mobile clinic starting at 9am the Ridgetown Campus of the University of Guelph on Thursday.
