APH & PHSD See New COVID-19 Cases, PHSD Announces Chapleau Vaccination Clinic

More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region.

Algoma Public Health's added nine cases since Friday - five in the Sault Ste. Marie area, two in Central and East Algoma, and two in the Elliot Lake area - leaving the health unit with 44 known "active" cases, nine in hospital, two in ICUs.

It's showing only one "active" outbreak, in Extendicare Maple View's Ranger Lake unit.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts has added 25 cases since Friday - 21 in Greater Sudbury, two in the Sudbury District, and two in the Manitoulin District - leaving it with 80 "active" - one in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - with 25 in hospital, two in ICUs.

It's showing three "active" outbreaks: two at the Espanola Nursing Home, the other at Health Sciences North in Greater Sudbury.

The health unit's holding an "appointment only" vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office Thursday - North Algoma's shifted to booking appointments rather than holding clinics: in Wawa, call the local Algoma Public Health office; in Dubreuilville, the Dubreuilville Medical Centre; in White River, the Northern Neighbours Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic.
