PHSD Reports 192nd COVID-19 Death, 18th in Sudbury District

Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is giving few details about its 192nd death linked to the illness, except that it's the eighteenth in the broader Sudbury District, and that COVID contributed to but was not the underlying cause of death.

As it didn't update figures on Friday - due to Remembrance Day - the health unit's also reporting 81 cases since Wednesday - 70 in Greater Sudbury, five in the broader Sudbury District, and six in the Manitoulin District - though known "active" cases are down to 176, with the number in the northern Sudbury District down to only one - the community isn't specified, but the region includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations.

Hospitalization figures weren't updated "as a result of changes to the data source".
