Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.
Algoma Public Health's reporting one in which COVID contributed but was not the underlying cause of death - that brings the health unit's death toll to 98 - it last reported two deaths in its previous update, a week ago.
It's also reporting 61 new cases over the last week, down from the previous week - 36 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, fifteen in the Elliot Lake area, eight in Central and East Algoma, and two 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 83, with four in hospital, one in an ICU.
