Several New COVID-19 Cases Reported in Region

Several new cases of COVID-19 are being reported in the region - especially in Sudbury.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts confirmed eight new cases late Monday; seven Greater Sudbury residents 19 or younger and a Greater Sudbury man in his 30s.
One of the younger cases is noted to have travel-related exposure, while the other seven had contact with a travel-related case.
This leaves the health unit with ten active cases - all in Greater Sudbury - including two others 19 or younger that are linked to travel and two employees of Extendicare Falconbridge, which has prompted the declaration of an outbreak at the long-term care facility.
The neighbouring Thunder Bay District Health Unit - meanwhile - has confirmed its 95th case - a woman in her 50s in the Thunder Bay area, whose exposure is unknown - leaving it with two active cases in the Thunder Bay area.
The Porcupine Health Unit has a single active case, as well - the health unit's 70th, noted to be in isolation at Timmins and District Hospital.
Algoma Public Health has no active cases, though it is waiting on the results of more than 500 tests.
