PHSD Confirms 3 New COVID-19 Cases + 1 Variant of Concern Case

A few more COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting two in Greater Sudbury and another in the Manitoulin District, bringing its total to 2183.

Figures posted by the health unit show three more cases stemming from close contact with a confirmed case and one travel-related case - it had reported one case as "under investigation" yesterday, though it's unclear if that's the travel-related one, or one of the close contact cases.

It now has eight "active" cases: five in Greater Sudbury; two in the Manitoulin District; and one in the north part of the Sudbury District, which includes Chapleau, Gogama, Foleyet, and neighbouring First Nations.

The health unit's also reporting one more case confirmed or presumed to be a variant of concern, bringing that total to 998.
