More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the Sudbury area.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting one new case in Greater Sudbury and another in an unspecified Sudbury District community, bringing the health unit's total to 254, ten currently "active".
It's also warning of a potential "low-risk" public exposure on an Ontario Northland bus that left Toronto Tuesday, December 15th around 2 o'clock that afternoon, scheduled to arrive in Sudbury around 7:15 that evening - anyone who was on board is advised to monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and self-isolate immediately if any develop, seeking testing.
This comes as restrictions have loosened for the health unit, which is back in the "Green-Prevent" category, the lowest level of the province's tiered restrictions framework.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit - which remains in the "Orange-Restrict" category - has reported five more cases - two at a Thunder Bay long-term care home where there's been thirteen deaths - though 21 more cases are now considered "resolved", so the health unit only has 89 "active".
The Porcupine Health Unit still has four "active", while Algoma Public Health has none - both regions are still in the "Green-Prevent" category.
