With the latest numbers on Saturday, Ontario’s Middlesex, London Health Unit now has more than 100 cases of the novel coronavirus.
This comes as the health unit reported 21 new cases on Saturday, bringing the total number of cases in the region to 113. Details about the 21 new cases, including the age, gender, source of transmission and current status of each patient, were not immediately available.
This is the biggest one-day spike in cases in the region since the pandemic first began, with health officials attributing the sudden rise in cases to clearing the backlogs of tests and an increase in the number of tests that have come back positive.
