APH Reports 87th COVID-19 Death, New Cases in North Algoma

Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.

Algoma Public Health's giving few details about its 87th COVID death - except that it was the underlying cause - the health unit last reported a death nearly a month ago.

It's also reporting 33 new cases since Thursday (but shows 35 more in the regional breakdown as two reported Thursday were previously unattributed) - 28 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, three in Central and East Algoma, two in the Elliot Lake area, and two in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations) - though known "high risk active" cases are down slightly, to 62, with twelve in hospital, two in ICUs.
