Public Health Sudbury and Districts (PHSD) reported five new cases of COVID-19 for today, Wednesday June 2. PHSD also reports 32 active cases being watched locally.
Also, since the PHSD began tracking COVID-19 cases just over 15 months ago, there have been 2098 total COVID-19 cases confirmed locally. PHSD also said 2066 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 five cases occurred in the Greater Sudbury area.
As to how the new cases might have been caused, PHSD said there was a decrease of three cases of close contact with a confirmed case, and one increase for no known epidemiological link and one increase for cases under investigation.
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 686 total cases (an increase of one).
The next highest group number was 535 cases for the 40 to 59 age group (an increase of one).
The next highest number was 484 cases for the 19 and under age group (an increase of two).
Seniors in the 60 to 79 age group amounted to 298 cases total (an increase of three).
People aged 80 and over are currently the lowest category with 94 cases (no increase).
There was a decrease of two cases reported in the "unspecified 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, 252,015 tests have been performed in the PHSD region as of May 31; an increase of 365 since the last testing report on June 1.
As for local vaccinations, PHSD reported a cumulative total of 121,153 vaccines given in the entire PHSD area as of June 2 at 4 p.m.
PHSD is also reporting there are still six cases of "confirmed" variants of the COVID-19 virus.
There are 921 cases that are "screened positive" for variants of concern; no increase in 24 hours.
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.
