Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.
Algoma Public Health's giving no further details about its 67th death since the pandemic began - the 46th in 2022 alone - though it comes as the health unit's reporting 162 cases since Thursday - 115 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, 32 in the Elliot Lake area, thirteen in Central and East Algoma, and two in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations) - pushing known "high risk active" cases up to 269, with 27 in hospital.
Meanwhile, Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 100 cases since Friday - 94 in Greater Sudbury, two in the broader Sudbury District, and four in the Manitoulin District - though known "active" cases have dropped from 331 to 278, with 42 in hospital.
There are no longer any "active" cases in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations).
The health unit's holding "appointment only" vaccination clinics at its Chapleau office today and tomorrow, for those at least twelve years old - book through the provincial system or call the health unit.
North Algoma's moved to appointments rather than clinics - in Wawa, call the local Algoma Public Health office; in Dubreuilville, the Dubreuilville Medical Centre; in White River, the Northern Neighbours Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic.
