COVID-19 cases are continuing to surge in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 42 new cases since Monday - 37 in Greater Sudbury, four in the broader Sudbury District, another in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up to 191 - the highest since early March - though cases in hospital are down to 56, with two in ICUs.
The "active" cases include two in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - an outbreak is still "active" at the Bignucolo Residence long-term care facility in Chapleau, declared last Saturday, with an influenza outbreak also declared on Monday.
This is the health unit's first update in more than a week not to include a COVID-19-related death.
