PHSD Reports New COVID-19 Cases, Active Count Jumps for Northern Sudbury District

More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region - with a jump in the northern Sudbury District.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 54 new cases - 38 in Greater Sudbury, fourteen in the broader Sudbury District, and two in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up slightly, to 146, with 26 in hospital, two in ICUs.

The number of "active" cases in the northern Sudbury District has skyrocketed from the two reported Friday to thirteen - the communities aren't specified, but the region includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations.

The health unit's holding vaccination clinics at its Chapleau office tomorrow and Thursday, the latter for those at least twelve or older - 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.
