The Health Unit website says 29 cases are linked to Barclay House, and says the discrepancy between the 28 new cases and 29 at Barclay house is based on the timing of the report, which should be reconciled in Friday's report.
There have been 837 cases in the district since the pandemic began and 799 have been resolved.
There have been eight deaths and three people are presently hospitalized.
It also reports that almost 83 per cent of residents 12+ have been fully vaccinated.
