Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.
Aside from listing it in Greater Sudbury - like all other COVID deaths for the health unit - Public Health Sudbury and Districts is giving no details about its 46th death related to the illness, which comes just a day after it reported its 44th and 45th.
The health unit is reporting 25 new cases in Greater Sudbury, five in the Sudbury District, and ten in the Manitoulin District, bringing its total to 4442.
Despite that, the number "active" actually dropped to 290: five are in the eastern part of the Sudbury District; 29 in the western part of the district; 83 in the Manitoulin District; and the remaining 173 in Greater Sudbury.
The health unit notes it's holding an "appointment only" COVID-19 vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office today.
Meanwhile, Algoma Public Health added twenty cases in the Sault Ste. Marie area and two in Central and East Algoma, bringing it to 1552 total, though the number "active" is also down, to 260, but the number in hospital is up to eight.
Citing the threat of Omicron and ongoing high transmission, APH has announced mandatory measures it recently implemented for Sault Ste. Marie have been extended for all of Algoma, including limiting social gatherings and organized public events to ten people indoors and 25 outdoors, as well as strengthened masking and physical distancing requirements for businesses and organizations.
