The eastern Ontario region of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark is reporting three new cases of COVID-19 and one additional death.
On Friday, the region’s health unit said the case total now stands at 327 cases and 48 deaths. Sixty-four per cent of the positive cases have recovered, according to the health unit. “The vast majority of the people who’ve been infected are associated with outbreaks in long-term care retirement homes, either residents or as cases as health workers,” said Dr.
Paula Stewart, the region medical officer. The region stretches from Gananoque, Ont., to the outskirts of Ottawa, where multiple long-term care homes have experienced virus outbreaks.
