Waterloo Public Health says six more people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the region, bringing the total number of cases to 1,417.

The agency’s tracker is shut down as it switches over to a new provincial information so it provided limited information via Twitter.

Waterloo Public Health says there are now 35 active cases in the area, which means no one has been cleared of the virus over the past few days.
