The outbreak at a student residence has now climbed to 31 individuals

The Standard reporting more than a hundred people are now self isolating in connection with the outbreak.

Niagara's Acting Medical Officer of Health says his staff are working hard on contact tracing and are testing as many as they can to try and stop the spread.

Dr. Mustafa Hirji was asked if the outbreak was tied to St. Patrick's Day celebrations?

He notes while some may have been, the group of infected individuals had many different social activities.
