Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting its 111th COVID-19 death.

It's giving few details, though figures show it's the 101st in Greater Sudbury - the health unit last reported a death on Friday.

PHSD's also added 136 cases in Greater Sudbury since Friday, plus sixteen in the Sudbury District, and nine in the Manitoulin District, though the number of known "active" cases is down to 381 - including seven in the northern Sudbury District, which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations - while 56 cases are in hospital, three in ICUs, both down from Friday.

The health unit's holding "appointment only" vaccination clinics at its Chapleau office today and Thursday.

Marie area, eleven in Central and East Algoma, five in the Elliot Lake area, and seven in North Algoma, which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations - leaving it with 372 known "active" cases - plus a "non-resident case temporarily in Algoma" - with eight cases in hospital, two in ICUs.

A "walk-in" vaccination clinic will be held at Wawa's Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre tomorrow, from 4 to 7 pm
