More COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting nineteen since Tuesday - fourteen in Greater Sudbury, four in the broader Sudbury District, and one in the Manitoulin District - pushing known "active" cases up to 199 - including one in the northern Sudbury District (which includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations) - with 46 cases in hospitals across the region, three in ICUs.
The health unit is holding an "appointment only" COVID vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office today, for those at least twelve years old - another "appointment only" clinic will be held for those as young as six months next Tuesday, February 28th.
Meanwhile, the neighbouring Porcupine Health Unit's reporting ten cases over the last week - less than half of the previous week - it no longer breaks that down by region nor reports "active" case counts, and has not updated its hospitalization figures.
