Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting its 116th since the pandemic began - it doesn't say where - it last reported a death a week ago.
The health unit's also reporting 45 new cases over the last week - 38 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, four in the Elliot Lake area, two in Central and East Algoma, and one in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations) - though known "high risk active" cases dropped by about a third to 63, with eight in hospital, four in ICUs.
