The health board say cases in Stonehaven and Portlethen may be connected to a social gathering.
In a statement to Northsound, an NHS Grampian spokesperson said:
"We are investigating a number of potentially linked cases of COVID-19 in the Portlethen/Stonehaven area. At present we believe these cases may be connected to a social gathering.
