Sun, Nov 28, 2021

 

We are reporting forty (40) new cases of COVID-19 (#1,049 - 1,088), all from Sault Ste. Marie and area.

 

Due to ongoing large volumes of cases and the need to streamline processes, APH is transitioning to a simplified format for reporting new cases of COVID-19 in Algoma.

There are currently 330 active cases.  

The newly reported cases acquired their infection as follows:

• 19 are close contacts of confirmed cases
• 8 have an unknown source of infection
• 13 are still being investigated to determine their source of infection

With increasing rates of COVID-19 in Algoma, we are receiving assistance from case and contact managers who may be from the provincial workforce or a partner health unit. If you are a case or a high-risk contact, you may receive a call from a case/contact manager from outside of Algoma Public Health.
