More COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.
Algoma Public Health reported its 39th death from the illness on Friday - a day after its 38th - though it gave no further details.
It also reported 58 new cases in the Sault Ste. Marie area, five in Central and East Algoma, one in the Elliot Lake area, and two in North Algoma - which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations - leaving it with 387 known "active" cases, ten cases in hospital, four in ICUs.
Meanwhile, figures from Public Health Sudbury and Districts on Friday showed 118 deaths, seven more than its Wednesday report - an unspecified number due to a change in the way the province classifies COVID-19 deaths - with 86 where COVID was the "underlying cause", 27 where it "contributed", and five where it was unknown - six of the newly recorded cases were in Greater Sudbury, while one was in the Sudbury District.
The health unit also added 90 new cases in Greater Sudbury, sixteen in the Sudbury District, and fifteen in the Manitoulin District, leaving it with 400 "active" - including ten in the northern Sudbury District, which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations - while 60 cases are in hospital, two in ICUs.
