The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reported seven new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, one day after its largest daily surge of novel coronavirus cases was reported Friday with 24 new cases.
This brings the total number of COVID-19 cases in the area to 289, 133 of which are considered resolved. The death toll rose by one to 17.
The health unit says 46 of London-Middlesex’s cases and four of its deaths are residents and staff in long term care homes, not including those in retirement homes which are recorded separately.
There are a total of 26 cases in retirement homes and zero deaths, according to the MLHU. On Friday, the health unit reported 14 new cases at London’s Grand Wood Park Retirement Residence.
