KINGSTON -- No new cases of COVID-19 were reported in Kingston, Ont. on Sunday.
It's the second time zero new cases have been reported on a single day since a COVID-19 outbreak was linked to a nail salon in the city 11 days ago.
The Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health unit has said 37 cases of COVID-19 have been linked to the nail salon outbreak.
On June 25, the health unit announced a COVID-19 outbreak linked to Binh's Nails and Spa salon in Kingston.
Two other nail salons in Kingston have closed due to COVID-19 cases: Georgia Nails and Kingdom Nails and Spa were closed after employees, clients, and close contacts tested positive for COVID-19.
In a video message Sunday afternoon, KFL&A Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said 33 cases have been linked to Binh's Nails and Spa, while two cases have been linked to both Georgia Nails and Kingdom Nails and Spa.
Dr. Moore said over 5,000 COVID-19 tests have been conducted over the past two weeks in the Kingston area.
There have been 105 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Kingston area. A total of 66 people have recovered after testing positive.
Dr. Moore said after a peak of 10 cases in a single day on June 25, the number of cases continues to decline.
"We caught it in time. We must continue to be vigilant," said Dr. Moore.
Dr. Moore thanked all members of the community for getting tested for COVID-19, and monitoring for symptoms.
"So we're on the right track. We all must remain vigilant, monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, get testing if you develop any signs or symptoms of COVID-19, as well as practice all the prevention strategies that we've been recommending."
Dr. Moore said those measures include practicing physical distancing, limiting social circles to a maximum of ten people and wearing a face mask.
