The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reported its largest daily surge of novel coronavirus cases with 24 new cases on Friday and two more deaths, bringing the total number of confirmed cases locally to 282 and the total deaths to 16.
The MLHU says 125 cases are considered “resolved.” Among the 24 new cases are 14 at London’s Grand Wood Park Retirement Residence.
An outbreak was declared there on March 31 after two residents tested positive. “Health Unit staff had directed the facility to test all staff and residents as part of the outbreak management process recently put in place as a result of new guidance from the Ministry of Health,” a release stated.
