The Kingston area has not seen a new positive case of COVID-19 since July 27.
A small uptick in numbers — four cases — hit the region in late July. Dr. Kieran Moore, medical officer of health for KFL&A Public Health, says those cases were all found in young people who travelled, either outside the region or the province, and attended social gatherings, either parties or cottages.
