More COVID-19 cases are being reported in the region - but there are fewer active.
Algoma Public Health's reporting 30 new cases over the last week - reducing the Elliot Lake count by one but adding 25 in the Sault Ste. Marie area, five in Central and East Algoma, and one in North Algoma (which includes Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, and the Michipicoten and Missinabie Cree First Nations) - though known "high risk active" cases dropped to 44, with twelve in hospital, one in an ICU.
This was the health unit's first weekly update since December 5th not to include at least one new COVID-19 death.
