Halton Region Public Health (HRPH) says Ontario’s second death related to COVID-19 was a patient being treated for an underlying condition at a regional hospital.
In a release, the health unit said the man – in his 50s – was a patient with the Milton District Hospital, and that his death was not connected to travel.
The deceased was a resident of Milton and admitted to the district hospital on March 11. He was later transferred to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital on March 18 around 2: a.m.
and died on arrival, according to Dr. Neil Rau, an infectious disease specialist with Halton Healthcare. “This is not someone who was perfectly healthy, but someone who was still with a good quality of life prior to his death,” said Rau. #HaltonON
