More COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting three - all deaths where the illness was the "underlying cause" - two are in Greater Sudbury, it's unclear where the third happened - this brings the health unit's death toll since the pandemic began to 126.
It's also added 118 cases since Friday - 101 in Greater Sudbury, nine in the Sudbury District, and eight in the Manitoulin District - leaving it with 338 known "active" cases, 32 in hospital, two in ICUs.
Meanwhile, the Porcupine Health Unit's reporting its 50th death linked to the illness - nearly three weeks after it last reported such a death - while reporting 49 new cases since Friday, nine over the last day - five in the Timmins area, one in the Hearst and Hornepayne area, another in the James and Hudson Bay region, and two out of the region - though the number of known "active" cases is down to 218, including four in hospital.
Algoma Public Health's added 131 since Friday - 105 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, thirteen in the Elliot Lake area, ten in Central and East Algoma, and three in North Algoma - leaving it with 454 "active" - plus four "non-resident cases temporarily in Algoma" - with seventeen local cases in hospital, four in ICUs.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit's added 66 since Friday - 55 in the Thunder Bay area, six in unspecified district communities, and five in unspecified First Nation communities - though the number of "active" cases is down to 119, including 25 in hospital, six in ICUs.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is holding "appointment only" COVID-19 vaccination clinics at its Chapleau office today and Thursday.
Algoma Public Health - meanwhile - is moving North Algoma toward booking appointments for vaccination rather than holding clinics, though "walk-in" clinics will be held at Wawa's MMCC April 13th and the health unit's Wawa office April 26th.
