For the first time since the start of the month, Ontario active COVID-19 cases include one in Algoma.
Algoma Public Health has confirmed its 22nd - and only active case - the first new case reported by the health unit in more than two weeks, though it notes the way the person was exposed is unknown, considered evidence of ongoing community spread in Sault Ste. Marie and area.
It further warns the health unit warns community spread is still possible in all regions of Algoma, even north Algoma, where no cases have been reported so far.
