Another COVID-19 death's been reported in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts says only that its 27th COVID-related death happened in Greater Sudbury - it's the health unit's second death in as many days.
This comes as the health unit's reporting one more case in the Sudbury District, but it's also revising down the number of cases reported in Greater Sudbury - that's led the health unit to actually report a decrease of six cases, bringing its total down to 1921, with 81 currently "active".
Despite that, it is reporting nine more cases screened positive for variants of concern, bringing that total to 774.
It's also showing sixteen fewer cases were outbreak-associated, with six more of close contact with a confirmed case, and four more with no epidemiological link.
Algoma Public Health's reporting four new cases in the Sault Ste. Marie area, bringing it to 328, with 38 "active" - two in hospital - plus three cases of "non-residents temporarily in Algoma" - one in hospital - while two more cases screened positive for a variant of concern, bringing that total to 49.
