APH Reports 59th COVID-19 Death, More Cases

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

Algoma Public Health's giving no further details about its 59th COVID-related death - the 38th this year - which comes just shy of three weeks after its last COVID death.

The health unit's also reporting 25 cases since Thursday - 23 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, two in the Elliot Lake area - leaving it with 48 known "active" cases, with seven in hospital, three in ICUs.

While Public Health Sudbury and Districts won't be updating figures until late this afternoon, the health unit's holding "appointment only" vaccination clinics at its Chapleau office today and tomorrow - North Algoma's already moved to booking appointments instead of holding clinics.
