Status of testing and cases in Public Health Sudbury & Districts’ service area
These numbers include data from the active surveillance occurring in long-term care homes and emergency child care centres.
These data are preliminary and subject to change, pending further review.
Summary of COVID-19 testing
This table will be updated daily by 12 p.m. with testing numbers as of the previous day at 5 p.m.
Effective June 8, 2020, all post-test counselling for COVID-19 will be provided to patients by the assessment centres or other health care providers who offer testing, and Public Health Sudbury & Districts will stop providing post-test counselling to each person tested. As a result, Public Health will no longer request and receive personal information from the testing locations to report on individual under investigation as well as those who tested negative. Public Health will continue to contact every person who tests positive for COVID-19 to follow up. This process is aligned with how Public Health manages other diseases of public health significance, as per the Health Protection and Promotion Act (O.Reg.135/18).
