COVID-19 cases are continuing to rise in the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting 28 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, bringing the health unit to 918, with a record 283 "active", including seventeen in hospital.
It's also warning of potential "low-risk" exposure for those who caught the 3:50 pm showing of "Clifford the Big Red Dog" at the Galaxy Cinemas in Sault Ste. Marie on November 14th, or those who were in the arcade area between 5:30 and 6:30 that night.
The health unit notes - due to the surging cases - it's receiving support from case and contact managers who may be from the provincial workforce or a partner health unit, meaning cases or high-risk contacts may be contacted by them instead of an APH official.
In neighbouring regions, the Thunder Bay District Health Unit's reporting four new cases in the Thunder Bay area and one in an unspecified district community - bringing it to 3495 total, with 33 "active", the most it has seen since mid-June - while the Porcupine Health Unit's added two in the Timmins area, bringing the health unit to 2267, with ten "active".
Public Health Sudbury and Districts - meanwhile - reminds it has an "appointment-only" vaccination clinic in Chapleau on Thursday.
