Algoma Public Health reported a new case over the weekend.
Few details have been revealed about the health unit's 21st case, except that it's unknown how the person was exposed to COVID-19, evidence that there is local community spread.
Figures on the health unit's website show the case is in the Sault Ste. Marie area, where the site says there is evidence of community spread, though it does warn community spread is still possible - and even likely - in all regions of Algoma, even north Algoma, where no cases have been reported so far.
Including this latest case, Algoma Public Health has five active, with 16 considered "resolved" and no deaths, though it is waiting on results from 379 tests.
Meanwhile, the neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's confirmed its seventh COVID-19 related death, a woman in her 70s who was admitted to hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 on April 21st - the case is also noted to be related to the outbreak declared at Timmins and District Hospital on May 11th.
There is some good news from the health unit, which says it has had no new cases in the last fourteen days, with only 3 of its 65 confirmed positive cases still considered "active".
It is still investigating 168 other cases.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts similarly has not reported a new case in several days, with only 3 of 64 cases considered "active", though it's still investigating 213 others.
