COVID cases rise in region, new colour code levels

Local regions are moving into a higher level of COVID-19 restrictions under the province's colour code.

Huron-Perth is moving to Orange - Restrict on Monday. Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph is also under orange.

Grey-Bruce moves to Yellow - Protect.

The Grey Bruce Health Unit reported five new cases in the region on Sunday, one each in Saugeen Shores, Kincardine, Arran-Elderslie, Hanover and Blue Mountains.

There are 53 active cases along with eight probable cases.
