A new Collingwood case of COVID-19 has now been confirmed by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU).
The health unit reported today a man in his 30s from Collingwood tested positive for the virus and the transmission was community-acquired. He is self-isolating at home.
He is among the five cases reported without information yesterday by the health unit.
This is the second case in a Collingwood resident. The first case, a man in his 50s, has since recovered. The health unit ruled he got the virus through travel to the US.

The health unit updated the case information on the website today to include stats for the most recent five cases.
