A pair of recently-reported cases remain active in Algoma.
While they were the first reported in to weeks - after more than a week of no active cases - Algoma Public Health says the two cases of "unknown" exposure are evidence of community spread in the Sault Ste. Marie and central Algoma areas.
The most recent case - the health unit's 23rd, reported Friday - is a staff member at the Algoma Manor Nursing Home in Thessalon, prompting it to implement "suspect outbreak" measures, until it gets results from surveillance testing - during this time, residents are being monitored for symptoms and any that are symptomatic are immediately tested, while staff wear masks at all times.
As of Sunday morning, the health unit was still awaiting results from 926 tests.
