Stratford Mayor Neil Volzke told Checkpoint a lockdown is not planned for the region currently.
He said the turnout for testing today has been "amazing". "I've just got some figures through in the last hour, to say there were 701 tests carried out in the region today. And of those 335 were done in Stratford."
Health authorities had been tipped off about the family members who were symptomatic with Covid-19 and who had not been tested. Grant Robertson said on Friday health authorities had known that for about a week.
Volzke was first informed of the six Covid cases on Thursday night.
He said it is "extremely concerning" that people were potentially exposed to Covid-19 in area's locations of interest this week.
