APH Reports 60th 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 60th COVID-related death - the 39th this year - reported three weeks after its last COVID death.

The health unit's also reporting 54 cases since Thursday - 35 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, ten in Central and East Algoma, and nine in the Elliot Lake area - leaving it with 87 known "high risk active" cases, with six in hospital, two in ICUs.

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