PHSD Reports 200th COVID-19 Death

A local health unit's reached a grim COVID-19-related milestone.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting its 200th COVID-19 death - the ninth in the Manitoulin District - just shy of a year after the health unit's death toll reached 100 - it last reported a death on Friday.

The health unit's also reporting 38 new cases since Monday - 34 in Greater Sudbury, four in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up slightly, to 123, 25 in hospital, two in ICUs.

It's holding an appointment only vaccination clinic for those at least 12 years old 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.
