The outreach team conducted testing at Cassellholme, Nipissing Manor, Water’s Edge and Eastholme and tested both residents and staff.
"A special shout out to the Powassan & Area Family Health Team for lending your expertise," the social media post continued.
So far the only COVID-19 positive test during the outreach team's work has been at Cassellholme where they revealed one true positive test earlier this week.
On May 12, the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit received confirmation from a Microbiologist at the Ontario Public Health Lab in Toronto that the positive test result at Cassellholme was a true positive.
