Several COVID-19 cases have been reported in the region.
Algoma Public Health's confirmed two in North Algoma, two in Central and East Algoma, and another in the Sault Ste. Marie area - all stem from close contact with a known case.
That brings its total cases to 425, with sixteen "active".
These are only the seventh and eighth cases confirmed in North Algoma - the health unit doesn't specify the community, however, with North Algoma including Dubreuilville, Michipicoten First Nation, Missinabie Cree First Nation, Wawa, and White River.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts has added eight cases in Greater Sudbury - including a couple travel-related cases - bringing the health unit to 2265 total, with 44 "active", making it the current hotspot for Northern Ontario - and it's reporting three more cases confirmed or presumed to be variants of concern, bringing that to 1053.
It's also warning of potential low-risk exposure at Rhythm 'n' Cues in Greater Sudbury between 8 and 11 pm last Friday and on a GOVA bus that travelled along Greater Sudbury's Notre Dame Avenue and Lasalle Boulevard between 8:45 am and 9:30 am last Saturday.
