No specific details were provided on the death, but this is the 39th local COVID-19 related death since March of 2020.

The health unit has also reported there are now 292 active cases that are being monitored.  Also, since the PHSD began tracking COVID-19 cases just over 21 months ago, there have been 3,858 total COVID-19 cases confirmed locally. PHSD also said 3,566 of those cases are now resolved. Details are available on the daily COVID-19 summary page

As for the possible location of the new cases, PHSD said 45 new cases were reported to have occurred in Greater Sudbury, 10 new cases in the rural Sudbury district and two cases were assigned to the Manitoulin district.

With respect to the possible causes of new and recent cases, PHSD reported 15 new cases related to outbreak, 21 new cases related to close contact of confirmed cases, 10 cases with no known epidemiological link and 11 new cases that are under investigation.

PHSD also reported general demographics each day about the ages of people who are becoming infected.  

Epidemiological data showed that the majority of local cases are persons in the 20 to 39 age category with 1,353 total cases (An increase of 14).

There were also 1,013 cases for the 19 and under age group (An increase of 29).

The next highest number was 900 for the 40-59 age group (An increase of five).

People aged 80 and over are currently the lowest category with 135 cases (An increase of two).

There were no cases listed in the unspecified age category.

Note: The numbers above might not correspond to other numbers being reported because the health unit does not report fresh numbers daily, as they happen. Some of the numbers are delayed.

With respect to COVID-19 testing, PHSD said there have been 325,035 total tests carried out locally since the pandemic began; no increase since the last report on Friday.  

With respect to vaccination numbers, PHSD is now reporting percentages of people vaccinated rather than doses given. The percentage of area residents who are now fully vaccinated translates to 73.9 per cent of people in the PHSD area. This number has not changed since Monday. 

PHSD said additional data on vaccines will be produced in the weekly detailed vaccination report which is issued on Tuesdays.  

The health unit has also reported there are several active local outbreaks and several recent exposure risks. This includes an outbreak reported by the Sudbury Wolves hockey club, involving 12 of their players. More details can be found on the daily COVID summary page. Just scroll to the bottom of the summary page to COVID-19 outbreaks. It also includes locations where several outbreaks have been declared as over. 

Also, at Sudbury's Health Sciences North, there were 21 patients with confirmed COVID-19 at the hospital, said the hospital website. Seven of those patients were in the intensive care unit.  In addition to this there were 10 admitted patients "being tested" for COVID-19.
