Not included in the EOHU’s count were three new cases in the northern portion of Akwesasne, which were disclosed by the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne on Tuesday afternoon.

Five cases were set to resolved by the EOHU since Tuesday’s update, leaving an increase of two in the active caseload that now sits at 64.
