Several COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is giving few details about the four new deaths - all in Greater Sudbury - except that two had COVID as the underlying cause of death, though it contributed to the other two deaths.
This brings the health unit's COVID-related death toll to 159, 139 in Greater Sudbury - it last reported a death on Wednesday, though that was in the Sudbury District.
It's also reporting 82 cases since Wednesday - 49 in Greater Sudbury, four in the broader Sudbury District, and 29 in the Manitoulin District - though the number of known "active" cases is down to 241 - one in the northern Sudbury District (Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - with 53 cases in hospital, two in ICUs.
