More details are emerging about Algoma's fourth COVID-19 death.
While Algoma Public Health gave no details when it reported the death Monday night, St. Joseph's General Hospital Elliot Lake has confirmed "a patient previously treated" at the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 has passed away, the second patient at the hospital to die from the illness.
Algoma Public Health still has five "active" cases, including one in hospital.
The Porcupine Health Unit - meanwhile - declared an outbreak at Pepco in Hearst, noting four employees are confirmed cases, determined to be related to the workplace - the declaration came as the health unit reported two new cases linked to an institutional outbreak in the Hearst and Hornepayne area.
That health unit has reported 341 cases, with fifteen still "active", one in hospital.
