More COVID-19 cases are being reported in the region - but there are fewer active.
Algoma Public Health's reporting 80 new cases over the last week - 44 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, nineteen in the Elliot Lake area, and seventeen in Central and East Algoma - though known "high risk active" cases are down slightly, to 98, with thirteen in hospital, two in ICUs.
The overall number of cases is actually slightly lower, as the health unit's removed a case previously reported in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations).
