Another COVID-19 death has been confirmed in the region.
The Porcupine Health Unit's giving few details about its 31st COVID-related death, except that it's in health unit region.
This comes as it's reporting two more cases in the Timmins area and another in the James and Hudson Bay region - bringing the health unit's total to 2144 - though four more "resolved" cases mean the number "active" is down to fourteen.
It's also reporting that three more cases in Timmins were positive for the "Delta" variant of concern - the health unit's seen 42 cases of the more transmissible and dangerous variant, which it calls "extremely worrisome", as a sign the variant's circulating in the health unit's communities.
