Algoma Public Health's reporting an overall rise of ten cases, as the number reported in the Sault Ste. Marie area is up by eleven and the number seen in Central and East Algoma is up by three, while the figure for the Elliot Lake area has been reduced by four - though known "high risk active" cases are down to 98, the lowest in months, with 21 in hospital, three in ICUs.
