The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reported an additional 13 cases of the coronavirus on Monday, bringing the region’s total to 456.
One of these cases is linked to a resident in a senior care home. Eleven new cases are in London, and two are in Strathroy-Caradoc.
The death count remains the same at 43 and the total number of recoveries sits at 299, with four more on Monday. The number of cases in senior care homes rose to 137 — 89 residents and 48 staff have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, and 23 people have died.
The new cases come two days after London-Middlesex saw zero new cases of COVID-19 and zero deaths on Saturday, but the MLHU said it’s certain more cases and deaths will be reported in the upcoming weeks.
