APH Reports New COVID-19 Cases & Possible Exposure, PHSD Reports New Cases

More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region.

Algoma Public Health is showing five more in the Sault Ste. Marie area - bringing the health unit to 377, with 31 currently "active", one in hospital - while five more cases screened positive for a variant of concern, bringing that to 85.

It's also warning of "potential low-risk exposure" on Sault Ste. Marie Transit May 14th, 15th, and 19th - the exact routes and times are on the health unit's website.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts - meanwhile - has added six cases in Greater Sudbury, bringing the health unit to 2061, though the number "active" has declined to 48 - 40 of them are in Greater Sudbury, six in the western part of the Sudbury District, one in the northern part of the district, and the other in the Manitoulin District.

The Porcupine Health Unit's reporting nine more cases in the Timmins area and three in the James and Hudson Bay region - that brings it to 922 reported cases, though it's unclear how many are currently "active", as that was updated before these cases were reported, though the count at that time was 197, two outside the district.
