More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Northeastern Ontario.
Algoma Public Health says it has confirmed its sixth case, a man in his 50s who contracted the virus through close contact with another case - he was tested on Saturday and is currently self-isolating.
The health unit doesn't say where he resides within the Algoma District.
Meanwhile Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting three more cases, bringing its total to sixteen - the latest cases are a Greater Sudbury man in his 50s who has been hospitalized, a Sudbury District man in his 60s who is self-isolating, and a Greater Sudbury resident under the age of 19 who is self-isolating.
The health unit says the Sudbury District man had a history of international travel while the youth contracted the virus through close contact - the third new case has had no known contact with a case or travel history, indicating community spread of the coronavirus.
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Penny Sutcliffe says that shows that "we have been doing the right thing" by distancing from others as if anyone could be infected, reinforcing the need for "critical sacrifices" like staying home as much as possible and staying isolated when directed.
