Another case of COVID-19 has been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts says its 90th case is a man in his 70s from an unspecified Sudbury District community - he's currently self-isolating after being tested Monday.
It's unclear how the man contracted the coronavirus, as he has no history of travel or known contact with another case.
The health unit has emphasized community spread "remains possible and is likely in Sudbury and districts", urging everyone to limit "non-essential in-person gatherings of any size" and to maintain physical distancing of at least two metres - or six feet - from anyone who isn't from the same household or ten-person social circle, as well as wear a face covering if distancing isn't possible - face coverings are currently required in all indoor public spaces.
It further reminds COVID-19's circulating at different levels around the province and Canada, emphasizing "the safest options are to stay in the area of your home community or to stay in the region".
Combined with a few recent recoveries, this latest case leaves the health unit with 18 active cases - all but this one in Greater Sudbury - with outbreaks declared at Pioneer Manor and Extendicare Falconbridge, as employees at the long-term care facilities have tested positive.
The neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's also reporting a new case, a Timmins man in his 20s, bringing the health unit's total confirmed cases to 72, though this is the only active one - it's warning of the "3 Cs": crowded places; close contact settings; and confined or enclosed spaces.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit still has three "active" cases in the Thunder Bay area, all reported last weekend, two travel-related, one from close contact with another case.
Algoma Public Health hasn't had an active case in more than a week, though it is waiting on the results from 526 tests.
