The Medical Officer of Health for Public Health Sudbury & Districts is reinstating work-from-home requirements.
Dr Penny Sutcliffe also says strong recommendations for COVID-19 protections are being issued to area schools, businesses, and organizations and stricter measures for the follow-up of contacts of cases of COVID-19 are being enacted.
Public Health is reissuing its call to everyone to continue to limit outings, work from home, get vaccinated, wear a mask and keep two metres distance from those outside your household.
They say continued high COVID19 rates mean that the Public Health Sudbury & Districts area is among the top three most affected jurisdictions in Ontario.
As of Friday, the agency had 288 active cases with Health Sciences North reporting 38 admitted patients with seven in intensive care.
