SUDBURY -- Two more people in the North Bay Parry Sound Health Unit coverage area have tested positive for COVID-19, the health unit said Thursday.

Cases 55 and 56 are in the Nipissing district and both positive tests were in people between the ages of 20-39. The source of the infection is unknown in one case, and under investigation in the other.

"To get tested for COVID-19, call an assessment centre directly to book an appointment," said information on the health unit's website.

You can also take a self-assessment to help you decide if you need a test. COVID-19 testing is currently not available at a pharmacy in the Nipissing district.

"As Ontario enters a second wave of COVID-19, our time to act is now," the health unit said.

To stay safe, the health unit recommends residents:

- Limit social interactions to household members only, both indoors and outdoors. If you live alone, you may consider having close contact with another household.

- Limit travel outside the home to attending school or work - if unable to work from home – and essential trips for groceries, medication, and medical appointments. 

- Limit exercise and recreation to outdoor spaces where physical distancing is possible.

- Avoid travel outside of our district, especially to areas with high numbers of COVID-19 cases, unless for emergencies or urgent medical appointments.
