It appears a COVID-19 death in the region was reported in error.
While the Porcupine Health Unit's website had shown 30 yesterday - with no details - that has since changed back to 29, with no details.
The health unit is - however - reporting fifteen more cases in the James and Hudson Bay region, one in the Timmins area, and another in the Kapuskasing, Opasatika, Val Rita-Harty, Moonbeam, and Fauquier-Strickland area - noting some stem from "data cleaning" - that brings it to 2018 total, though the number "active" has dropped to 115.
The health unit's also lifted shutdown-level restrictions as of today - while the province had moved into Step One of reopening two weeks ago, the Porcupine Health Unit kept the restrictions in place amid high case numbers, but the situation has since vastly improved - with Timmins Mayor Georgie Pirie even declaring the city's COVID-related state of emergency is now over.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting four in Greater Sudbury and two in the Sudbury District - bringing it to 2159 - leaving it with 37 "active": 31 in Greater Sudbury, two in the northern part of the Sudbury District, one in the western part of the district, and two in the eastern.
It's also reporting five more cases screened positive for a variant of concern, bringing that total to 966.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's added a single new case of COVID-19 in the Thunder Bay area, bringing it to 3335, with ten "active", three in hospital, two in an ICU.
