After a record number of new coronavirus cases two days in a row, things are starting to slow down on Monday as the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reported two new cases.
The MLHU reported a record number of cases for the region over the weekend, with a combined 42 cases announced on Saturday and Sunday.
With the latest report, the number of people who have tested positive for the virus is now at 136 in the region. Details about the two new cases, including the age, gender, source of transmission and current status of each patient, were not immediately available.
Health officials attribute the sudden rise in cases to clearing a backlog of tests and an increase in the number of tests that have come back positive.
