COVID-19 restrictions are tightening for the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts amid a continued rise in cases.
As of today, anyone twelve or older who actively participates in organized sports in the districts - not just coaches or officials - must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination unless a medical exemption applies - that's in addition to the return of capacity limits and related physical distancing requirements for Greater Sudbury businesses and organizations, as well as strengthened masking required at indoor and outdoor organized public events in the city.
This comes after Public Health Sudbury and Districts confirmed its 34th COVID-19 death - just days after its 33rd - though the health unit also reported 59 new cases in Greater Sudbury and four in the Manitoulin District, bringing its total to 3251, with 281 "active".
