APH Reports New COVID-19 Cases, Including in North Algoma

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

Algoma Public Health's reporting 27 since Thursday - eighteen in the Sault Ste. Marie area, six in the Elliot Lake area, two in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations), and one in Central and East Algoma - though "high risk active" cases are down slightly, to 61, with sixteen in hospital, one in an ICU.

The neighbouring Public Health Sudbury and District is holding an appointment only COVID-19 vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office Thursday - 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.
