Dozens of new COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts has added forty in Greater Sudbury and two more in unspecified Sudbury Districts, bringing its total to 2655 with 133 "active": 127 in Greater Sudbury; three in the western part of the Sudbury District; two in the northern part of the district; and one in the Manitoulin District.
The health unit's also reporting 32 more cases confirmed or presumed to be variants of concern, bringing that count to 1353.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's added five cases in unspecified First Nation communities and another in an unspecified "district community", bringing its total to 3405, with eight "active".
Meanwhile, an outbreak's been declared for a Sault Ste. Marie school.
The Algoma District School Board says Algoma Public Health has declared the outbreak at River View Public School, noting Ministry of Education guidance says an outbreak is declared in a school once it's determined that two individuals tested positive within a fourteen day period and at least one "could have reasonably acquired their infection in the school setting" and "there are characteristics that link the two cases".
This comes just days after the board confirmed "an individual associated with" the school had tested positive, but neither the ADSB or APH say how many cases have now been linked to the outbreak.
