For the first time in more than two weeks, a new COVID-19 case has been confirmed in Algoma.
Algoma Public Health is giving few details about its 22nd case, except that they were tested on Monday and are now self-isolating, with close contacts of the case aready notified.
The way they were exposed is unknown, considered evidence of ongoing community spread in Sault Ste. Marie and area, though the health unit warns community spread is still possible - and even likely - in all regions of Algoma, even north Algoma, where no cases have been reported so far.
This is the sole active case for the health unit, though - as of 5 o'clock last night - it was waiting on results from 652 tests.
