Few COVID-19 Cases Remain in Region

A few COVID-19 cases remain in the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting two active cases, both in the Sault Ste. Marie area - the second was reported Friday night, someone who had close contact with a known case and has been self-isolating since they were tested Wednesday, with close contacts notified.
The health unit emphasizes community spread remains likely in all regions of Algoma, reminding residents to practice physical distancing - as any close contact could be a possible exposure - and warning masks or face coverings must be worn in all indoor public spaces.
The Porcupine Health Unit has two active cases - the last reported last Monday - while the Thunder Bay District Health Unit has one, a man in his 60s in the Thunder Bay area, reported Saturday.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts currently has no active cases, but has warned of evidence of community spread from previous cases.
