A COVID-19 outbreak's been declared at a Sault Ste. Marie long-term care home, after three residents tested positive.
Algoma Public Health says the three residents of Extendicare Maple View have no symptoms, but were tested as part of surveillance testing of the facility - they're the only ones to test positive so far, and are currently in isolation to prevent further transmission.
All staff and residents have been tested, though the health unit's still waiting on the results for some of the tests, part of the 226 test results still pending for the area.
This brings the health unit's total number of cases so far to 16, though the others are considered "resolved".
The neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's reporting another new case - a Timmins male between the ages of 10 and 19, who has had contact with a known case - the 63rd case for the health unit, though 48 are considered "resolved" while it is still investigating 334 more cases.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting another recovery - meaning 50 of its 59 cases are considered "resolved", including 2 deaths - though it is still investigating 370 cases.
