Public Health Sudbury and Districts has confirmed its tenth COVID-19 death, a resident of the Amberwood Suites retirement home in Greater Sudbury, where seven residents have died from the illness.
The health unit - meanwhile - is reporting three more cases in Greater Sudbury - bringing the health unit to 535, 47 "active" - while confirming a second case of the more highly transmissible COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 - which was first detected in the UK - though it is still awaiting sequencing results on two other possible cases of the variant.
PHSD has also declared outbreaks at two more Greater Sudbury long-term care homes, as well as part of Health Sciences North's Ramsey Lake Health Centre in the city.
