A pair of COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts has confirmed its seventh, a resident of the Amberwood Suites retirement home in Greater Sudbury - they're the fifth resident death associated with an outbreak at the home.
The health unit's also reporting seven new cases in Greater Sudbury, bringing the region to 417, though the number "active" is down slightly, to 70.
The neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit - meanwhile - has confirmed its tenth COVID-19 death, noted to be linked to an "institutional outbreak" - it's only reporting one at this time, at Extendicare Kapuskasing.
In addition, the health unit's confirmed another case in the Hearst and Hornepayne area, and another in the Cochrane, Matheson, Iroquois Falls, and Smooth Rock Falls area - this brings the health unit to 193 cases, 28 "active".
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit - on the other hand - is reporting 14 more cases in the Thunder Bay area, plus four in unspecified First Nation communities, and three in unspecified "district communities" - three of the cases stem from the outbreak at Valard Construction's East-West Tie Project in Marathon.
An update issued by the Marathon Family Health Team yesterday confirmed one new case in that community linked to that outbreak, though it has previously said workers who test positive being relocated "outside of the community".
In total, the health unit's seen 832 cases, 143 currently "active", two in hospital, one in the ICU.
Algoma Public Health currently has 28 "active".
