Public Health Sudbury and Districts (PHSD) has reported two new cases of COVID-19. PHSD also reports 19 active cases being watched locally. The region hasn’t seen a double-digit increase in COVID-19 cases since May 8.
Also, since the PHSD began tracking COVID-19 cases just over 15 months ago, there have been 2,113 total COVID-19 cases confirmed locally. PHSD also said 2,094 of those cases have now been resolved. The details were reported on the PHSD website.
With respect to where the cases might have occurred, PHSD reported that one case occurred in the rural Sudbury district. As to how the new case might have been caused, PHSD said there were two cases of close contact of a confirmed case.
PHSD also reports general demographics each day about the people who are becoming infected.
Epidemiological data showed that the majority of local cases are persons in the 20 to 39 age category with 689 total cases (an increase of one). The next highest group number was 540 cases for the 40 to 59 age group (an increase of two). The next highest number was 490 cases for the 19 and under age group (an increase of two). Seniors in the 60 to 79 age group amounted to 299 cases total (no increase).
People aged 80 and over are currently the lowest category with 94 cases (no increase). There was a decrease of three cases reported in the "unspecified category". There are now zero cases in that category.
The numbers above may not completely correspond with the daily case count because PHSD does not always report changes on the day they occur.
With respect to COVID-19 testing, 254,919 tests have been performed in the PHSD region as of June 11, an increase of 261 since the last testing report.
As for local vaccinations, PHSD reported a cumulative total of 134,161 vaccines given in the entire PHSD area as of June 10 at 4 p.m.
PHSD is also reporting there are still six cases of "confirmed" variants of the COVID-19 virus.
There are 934 cases that are "screened positive" for variants of concern; an increase on one over Thursday's count.
PHSD said additional time is required to genetically sequence the virus in a positive sample and confirm it as a COVID-19 variant of concern.
PHSD has also reported there are no current outbreaks at any workplaces in the public health jurisdiction.
Also, at Sudbury's Health Sciences North, as of June 11 there were three patients with confirmed COVID-19 at the hospital. As reported on the HSN website, this includes two COVID-19 patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Some of those patients may have been transferred in from hospitals and other healthcare venues in Southern Ontario. In addition to this there are four admitted patients "being tested" for COVID-19. None of the patients being tested has been admitted to the ICU at this time.
On the provincial COVID-19 register today, the Ontario government daily website reported 574 new confirmed COVID-19 cases across the province. Also today, the province reported 4 new deaths had occurred. This is the twelfth day in a row, since May 31, that Ontario's case count has been below 1,000.
