More COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting that "a data cleaning initiative determined two additional COVID-19 deaths in Algoma" - one in 2021, the other in 2022 - bringing the health unit's COVID-related death to 46, just a day after it reported two other deaths - no further details have been given about the latest deaths.
The health unit's also reporting 48 new cases - 35 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, seven in Central and East Algoma, and six in the Elliot Lake area - leaving it with 409 known "active" cases - plus another "non-resident case temporarily in Algoma" - with twenty local cases in hospital, four in ICUs - both substantially higher than the previous report, on Monday.
