PHSD Reports New COVID-19 Cases, Fewer Active

More COVID-19 cases are being reported in the region - but there are fewer active.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 38 new cases since Wednesday - 34 in Greater Sudbury, two in the broader Sudbury District, two in the Manitoulin District - though known "active" cases are down slightly, to 190 - still one of the highest counts since early March - with two in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - a COVID outbreak is still "active" at the Bignucolo Residence long-term care facility in Chapleau, along with an influenza outbreak.

The health unit only updates hospitalization figures on Wednesdays, but last showed 56 in hospital, two in ICUs.
