That case was reported on May 18th.
Earlier this month the last person with the last active case reported by Public Health was confirmed by the unit to have recovered. Since the pandemic began, 37 of the 43 people to have contracted the virus between Hastings and Prince Edward Counties have gone on to recover.
Five people in the region have died due to the virus.
