Note: Coverage rates presented in the above table exclude residents who are deceased. This aligns with provincial calculation and reporting of coverage rates. Vaccine recommendations vary according to age, vaccine brand, and risk factors. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and current recommendations.
Note: The Ministry of Health has updated its guidance to explain that the “fully vaccinated” definition will be updated in most settings to the “up to date” definition. “Up to date” means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including any booster dose(s) when eligible. The language used in the COVID-19 vaccine data table was updated on May 25, 2022, based on this guidance.
COVID-19 testing data
COVID-19 testing data is updated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, by 4 p.m. (excluding statutory holidays). There is a two-day lag in the data, meaning that Monday’s report will include data up to Saturday.

COVID-19 case data
Public Health reports COVID-19 case data Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 4 p.m. (excluding statutory holidays). The Monday report includes cases from Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We will also continue to post a Weekly report: COVID-19 case epidemiology and vaccination program update on Wednesdays that includes information about cases over time, case characteristics, testing, regional comparisons, and outbreaks in facilities.
Note: As of December 31, 2021, eligibility for publicly funded PCR testing (PDF, Ontario Government) is limited to people who are associated with highest risk settings or who are at high risk of severe health outcomes if they become infected. Therefore, counts of new and active cases underestimate the true number of people with COVID-19 in Sudbury and districts.

Outbreaks of COVID-19
Public Health Sudbury & Districts posts up-to-date information online about active outbreaks in the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts related to respiratory and enteric diseases.
Respiratory Illness Surveillance Dashboard
The Respiratory Illness Surveillance Dashboard for Sudbury and districts provides information about local activity levels of respiratory illness, including COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The tool includes information about cases, and new hospitalizations and outbreaks, as well as COVID-19 detected in local wastewater.
Assess your risk
Continue to take steps and use caution to prevent the spread of illness. Assess your risk and apply personal protective measures based on your age, vaccination, and health status.
These measures can include:
- Staying up to date on vaccination, including booster doses
- Use Ontario’s Booster dose recommendation tool to find out when you should get a booster dose.
- Wearing a mask
- Washing your hands
- Screening daily for symptoms
- Staying home when ill
Consider the risk of those around you and increase protective measures based on your personal health situation and environment to reduce the burden of illness in our communities.
As always, remember to be kind and respectful of the risk tolerance of those around you.
Weekly report: COVID-19 case epidemiology and vaccination program update
The Weekly Report will be published every Wednesday.
- Weekly report: COVID-19 case epidemiology and vaccination program update (PDF, 2 MB), Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
The report provides data on COVID-19 cases and the vaccination program in the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts, as well as additional context by comparing local data to other regions in Ontario. Specifically, the report includes information about:
- cases over time and their characteristics
- outbreaks and hospitalizations
- case outcomes
- testing
- vaccine administration over time: by regions, brand, dose, and by age group
- adverse events following immunization
Measuring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater
The City of Greater Sudbury, in partnership with the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI), is monitoring levels of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants with a wastewater surveillance program that tests sewage from the Kelly Lake Wastewater Treatment Site. The Kelly Lake site serves 96 000 residents and is one of 13 wastewater sites managed by the City of Greater Sudbury.
HSNRI is monitoring six treatment plants as part of a pan-Ontario network developing wastewater monitoring of COVID-19 (Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table).
Visit the City of Greater Sudbury’s website to learn more about measuring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater and for monitoring results.

SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater
Why measure SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater?
Researchers across Canada and globally are monitoring SARS-CoV-2 (the virus leading to COVID-19) in community wastewater samples to better understand community spread. People who have COVID-19 will have SARS-CoV-2 gene fragments (RNA) in their stool, whether they are symptomatic or not. Levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater can therefore be measured to estimate levels of COVID-19 in the community and follow changes over time.
Wastewater surveillance consistently captures most of the population with COVID-19. This is different from assessing community COVID-19 levels by measuring the number of active cases, which also depends on individual testing. This may be even more important for understanding broad population trends if testing for individuals is limited.
Monitoring wastewater for COVID-19 can be used by public health as a tool for surveillance alongside other public health indicators, such as reported cases, hospitalizations, and outbreaks, to identify COVID-19 trends and support mobilization of resources related to the COVID-19 response.
About this initiative
Local wastewater is currently being tested by the City of Greater Sudbury, in partnership with the Health Sciences North Research Institute. The Kelly Lake Wastewater Treatment Site provides wastewater treatment processes for approximately 96 000 residents in Greater Sudbury.
Data for those living in other areas of Sudbury and anyone living outside of the City of Greater Sudbury is not currently included in this surveillance project.
This local wastewater surveillance initiative is led by Gustavo Ybazeta, Ph.D., Bioinformatics and Genomics Associate at Health Sciences North Research Institute in partnership with the City of Greater Sudbury. This initiative is part of a larger provincial Wastewater Surveillance Initiative and is funded by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks.
Considerations for wastewater measurement of SARS-CoV-2
The amount of virus an individual with COVID-19 sheds will differ over time as their illness progresses from the pre-symptomatic stage through to recovery. The amount of virus detected in a wastewater sample can also vary due to weather events, such as snowmelt or heavy rainfall. Because of these and other factors, the results presented are not equivalent to case numbers and should be interpreted with caution. We are working together to learn more about wastewater surveillance for COVID-19, and how the results can be used as a tool for public health.
Visit the City of Greater Sudbury’s website for local data on this research initiative.
