There is one more case of COVID-19 related to an outbreak at the Brandon location of a trucking company, public health officials announced Tuesday.

There are now 11 cases of the illness connected with Paul's Hauling.

Provincial officials didn't say whether the new case is a close contact of a person at Paul's Hauling who tested positive for COVID-19, or if the patient works at the location on Richmond Avenue E.

"There is no cause for concern and this is not unexpected as public health officials continue to investigate and trace contacts," said a statement from the province.

"Affected staff and their close contacts are self-isolating, and public health officials are continuing with detailed contact tracing."
