There are only five active cases within the Public Health Sudbury & Districts as there were no new cases announced Dec. 6 and two more cases were resolved.
The bad news, however, is the rest of the province does not seem to be faring so well.
Ontario has reached a record high of new COVID-19 infections for the second consecutive day.
The province logged 1,924 new cases on Sunday, pushing above the 1,859 case record hit a day earlier.
Premier Doug Ford is among the leaders calling on Ottawa to provide more clarity as officials work to develop a provincewide vaccination strategy.
Health Minister Christine Elliott has said Ontario will receive 1.6 million doses of the new vaccine from Pfizer and 800,000 doses from Moderna in early 2021, although federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu said such details were still in the works.
Ford has named former general Rick Hillier, who served as chief of defence staff, to oversee the province’s vaccine rollout.
Nine others were named to the provincial vaccine task force on Friday, including medical experts, the province’s chief coroner, former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders, Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnne Archibald and bioethicist Dr. Maxwell Smith.
The province had initially said it would develop its vaccine plan by year’s end, but earlier this week Ford said the province would be ready even if the vaccines arrive sooner.
He has urged Ottawa to provide detailed information on potential vaccine delivery.
“We need a clear line of sight into the timelines of the shipments,” Ford said.
