PHSD Reports New COVID-19 Cases, Reduces Death Toll By 1

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

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting 39 since Wednesday - thirty in Greater Sudbury, five in the broader Sudbury District, and four in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up to 184 - 42 in hospital, two in ICUs - with four cases still "active" in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations), down slightly from Wednesday's six.

The health unit's also reduced its COVID-related death toll, removing a death in Greater Sudbury in which it was unclear whether COVID was the cause or merely contributed - that leaves the health unit's death toll at 202, 175 in the city.

An "appointment only" COVID vaccination clinic will be held at PHSD's Chapleau office this Thursday, for those at least twelve years old - another "appointment only" clinic will be held for those as young as six months the following Tuesday, February 28th.
