PHSD Reports New COVID-19 Death, More Cases

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

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting a death in Greater Sudbury in which COVID was the underlying cause of death, bringing the health unit's death toll up to 193, including 167 in the city.

The health unit's also reporting 47 new cases since Monday - 35 in Greater Sudbury, eight in the broader Sudbury District, and four in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up to 124 - 23 in hospital - with four "active" cases in the northern Sudbury District, double Monday's two - the communities aren't specified, but the region includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations.

The neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's reporting fourteen new cases over the last week - it no longer breaks that down by region or reports "active" case counts, but does show eleven in hospital, down from the fifteen reported a week ago.
