More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region - but it does appear to be improving.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 81 since Friday - 75 in Greater Sudbury, four in the broader Sudbury District, and two in the Manitoulin District - though known "active" cases have dropped to 244, with 37 in hospital, one in an ICU, both down from the previous report.
More promising news: the number of cases in the northern Sudbury District is down to only two - the communities aren't specified, but the region includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations, though the health unit has declared an end to the outbreak in the long-term care area of Chapleau Health Services, which was declared October 20th.
The Chapleau hospital says it will "cautiously resume normal operations" "over the next few days", with patients to be contacted to rebook previously postponed appointments and visitor restrictions to "gradually ease".
It still recommends wearing a mask and maintaining two metres physical distance from others, washing hands frequently, staying home when possible, and getting your vaccine booster and flu shot as "vaccination is the most effective way to reduce the spread of COVID-19" - it also emphasizes those experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should self-isolate and call the assessment centre at 705-864-2568.
