PHSD Reports 2 COVID-19 Deaths

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

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is giving few details about the two new deaths in Greater Sudbury - except that COVID contributed to but was not the underlying cause of death in one case, and it's unknown in the other.

This brings the health unit's COVID-related death toll to 161, 141 in Greater Sudbury - it last reported deaths on Friday.

It's also reporting 31 new cases since Tuesday - 26 in Greater Sudbury, five in the Manitoulin District - though the number of known "active" cases is down to 189 - one in the northern Sudbury District (Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - with 50 cases in hospital, three in ICUs.

Meanwhile, the neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's added 33 cases since Friday - it no longer breaks that down by region or reports "active" case counts, but shows six in hospital.
