COVID-19 cases are rising across the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting four cases in the Sault Ste. Marie area, while declaring an outbreak at Echo Bay Early Learning Centre, closing its early learning and care program for two weeks.
This brings the health unit to 269 total cases - 41 currently "active", including one in hospital - though it's also reporting a non-resident case temporarily in Algoma, also noted to be in hospital.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts has confirmed another case in an unspecified Sudbury District community and eighteen in Greater Sudbury, bringing its total to 1699 - 238 "active" - while four more screened positive for a variant of concern, bringing that total to 499.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's reporting thirteen new cases - including those that would've been reported yesterday, as it no longer issues updates on Sunday - including nine in the Thunder Bay area, three in unspecified First Nation communities, and one in an unspecified district community.
That brings its total to 2975, with 91 "active" - including fourteen in hospital, five in an ICU - while three more cases with variants of concern were identified.
The neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit has 42 "active" cases at this time.
