More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region - including the northern Sudbruy District.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts reported 41 cases in its latest update - 35 in Greater Sudbury, five in the broader Sudbury District, and another in the Manitoulin District - leaving it with 112 known "active" cases - it did not update its hospitalization figures due to "outside circumstances", but last reported 21 in hospital.
The "active" cases include eight in the northern Sudbury District - which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations - double the number reported in the Wednesday update.
The Township of Chapleau announced on earlier this week that its Recreation Centre was closed for at least a week, as staff tested positive for COVID after the Canada Day and Chapleau High School reunion weekend.
