...for now.

Also, isn't it a bit premature? There's still one active exposure site that began on September 28 and still has 4 monitoring days remaining.

Iirc a single exposure site doesn't meet the threshold for an outbreak. It's like snow: only over a certain number does it count as a blizzard.

I guess, but I'm pretty sure the official determination is 42 says with zero new cases. They only report new cases weekly, so we don't know exactly when that was.
