The health unit's also reporting 75 new cases over the last week - 38 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, 22 in Central and East Algoma, ten in the Elliot Lake area, and five in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations) - though known "high risk active" cases are down to 100, with 24 in hospital, three in ICUs.
