More COVID-19 Cases & Death Reported in Region

Another COVID-19 death's been reported at a Thunder Bay long-term care home.

Southbridge Roseview's website now shows 13 residents have died from the virus, while the Thunder Bay District Health Unit's total is now up to 15.

The health unit - meanwhile - reported twenty-six cases over the weekend - one in an unspecified First Nation community, the rest in Thunder Bay, including ten at Southbridge Roseview, which currently has 13 "active" resident cases and 14 staff cases.

That brings the health unit's total to 503, including 103 "active".

It has also declared outbreaks at two Thunder Bay long-term care homes, though it has declared an end to outbreaks at Marathon's Holy Saviour Catholic School an a Geraldton long-term care home.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts reported two more cases late Friday - bringing its total to 252 - though it also reported four more recoveries over the weekend, leaving it with only eight "active".

This comes as the provincial government's announced restrictions are loosening for that health unit, which is returning to the "Green-Prevent' category, the lowest of the province's tiered restrictions framework.

The Porcupine Health Unit's reporting two more cases - both in the James Bay/Hudson Bay area - bringing its total to 121, five of which are "active".

Algoma Public Health - which last reported a case over a week ago - no longer has any "active" cases.
