APH Reports New COVID-19 Cases

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

Algoma Public Health's reporting 55 since Thursday - 44 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, six in Central and East Algoma, and five in the Elliot Lake area - though known "high risk active" cases are down to 141, including thirteen in hospital.

The health unit has seven "active" outbreaks at the moment: two at Algoma Manor, two at Extendicare Maple View, one at the Ontario Finnish Resthome, one at Sault Area Hospital, and another at Golden Birches in Blind River.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is holding an "appointment only" vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office today - book through the provincial system or call the health unit.

North Algoma's moved to appointments rather than 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.
