Another COVID-19 death's been confirmed in the region.

Algoma Public Health's reporting its 104th since the pandemic began - it doesn't say where - it last reported a death two weeks ago.

The health unit's also reporting eighteen new cases over the last week, just over half of the previous week - six in the Sault Ste. Marie area, six in Central and East Algoma, and six in the Elliot Lake area - though known "high risk active" cases dropped to 32, with five in hospital, two in ICUs.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is reporting three cases since Friday - two in Greater Sudbury, the other in the Manitoulin District - though known "active" cases dropped to eighteen, with four in hospital.

One of the active cases is in the northern Sudbury District - it doesn't say where, but the area includes Chapleau, Cartier, Foleyet, Gogama, and neighbouring First Nations.

The health unit is holding an "appointment only" COVID-19 vaccination clinic at its Chapleau office today.
