Peterborough Public Health’s community risk index for COVID-19 remains at “low risk,” for the second week in a row, according to a weekly update from the health unit on Wednesday.
The health unit said the index remains “low risk”. The index was “moderate risk” on May 18 and “high risk” on May 11.
The risk index uses a number of factors such as case rate, hospitalizations, deaths, PCR test positivity, rapid antigen test positivity and wastewater surveillance in the region.
The health unit’s weekly COVID-19 tracker site reported the following data for the jurisdiction of Peterborough, Peterborough County, Curve Lake First Nation and Hiawatha First Nation, as of 3:40 p.m.:
Lab-confirmed deaths: 80 since the pandemic was declared — unchanged since the June 8 update. On March 11, 2022, the health unit removed three deaths reported early in the pandemic from its database due to a change in provincial reporting methodology.

Active PCR lab-confirmed cases: 142 — down from 166 reported on June 8 and 174 reported on June 1. The province and health unit note the number of active cases being reported is an “underestimation” due to changes to PCR testing availability effective Dec. 31, 2021.
