Sad news from the Thunder Bay District Health unit as it reports a death related to COVID-19.

That statistic is part of Thursday’s count, which has just one new case of the virus.

How that person got COVID-19 is still being looked into by the health unit.

It adds along with the four latest resolved cases, there are now 31 active in the region.

There’s also one case of a variant.

The provincial numbers are not available yet.
