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

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting its 194th in Greater Sudbury, bringing the health unit's COVID-related death toll to 222, though this was a death where COVID contributed to but was not the underlying cause - it last reported a death at the start of October.

The health unit's also reporting 41 new cases since Monday - 38 in Greater Sudbury, three in the broader Sudbury District - pushing known "active" cases up to 179 - the highest since early March - with 66 in hospital, four in ICUs.
