APH & PHSD Report New COVID-19 Cases

Several COVID-19 cases have been reported in the region.

Algoma Public Health's reporting one in the Sault Ste. Marie area, but it's also notes one of the two cases reported on Friday has been removed from the health unit's case count and transferred to an unspecified other jurisdiction - as its figures still show six cases reported in North Algoma, it appears that it was the Sault case that has moved.

This brings the health unit to 410 cases, with four currently "active".

Public Health Sudbury and Districts - on the other hand - has added six cases in Greater Sudbury, two in the eastern part of the Sudbury District, and two in the Manitoulin District, bringing the health unit to 2224 total, though the number "active" has dropped to 21.

The health unit's also reporting eight more cases confirmed or presumed to be variants of concern, bringing that total to 1029.

It's holding a series of COVID-19 vaccination clinics this week, including an "appointment-only clinic" in Chapleau on Wednesday.
