Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre announced Tuesday that a man in his 70s who died on March 11 has tested positive for COVID-19. The man wasn’t listed as a confirmed case of COVID-19 when he died but he was in close contact with a positive case that visited Barrie from Alberta. An autopsy is going to be done on the body to determine if the man died because of COVID-19, or due to another, unrelated reason.
