APH Reports 2 COVID-19 Deaths, Nearly Doubles Active Cases

More COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the region.

Algoma Public Health's reporting two - one in which it was the underlying cause, another in which it contributed but was not the underlying cause - but gives no further details.

This brings the health unit's death toll to 89 - it last reported a death two weeks ago.

It's also reporting 95 new cases over the last week - 80 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, twelve in Central and East Algoma, and three in the Elliot Lake area - nearly doubling known "high risk active" cases to 111, with fourteen in hospital, five in ICUs.
