Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting several more COVID-19 deaths.
The health unit's now showing 77 deaths linked to the illness - up by fourteen from Friday's update, though it notes eight of those occurred between December 13th and January 16th, reported after a re-examination of cause of death data from last month and this month.
It's also reporting 243 new cases in Greater Sudbury since Friday, plus 22 in the Manitoulin District and twelve in the Sudbury District, though the number of known "active" cases dropped by more than 200, to 769, including nine in the northern Sudbury District, which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations.
PHSD is holding "appointment only" vaccination clinics at the Chapleau and District Family Health Team today and Thursday.
