For the first time in two weeks, no new coronavirus cases have been reported in London and Middlesex, according to officials with the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU).
Instead, the number of confirmed cases in the region has actually declined by two to 491 after two tests previously flagged as positive were re-analyzed and determined to be negative, MLHU said.
Health officials also reported seven new recoveries, bringing that total to 357, or about 72.7 per cent of cases. Forty-eight people have died, a figure that remained unchanged.
The news comes as two active outbreaks at seniors’ homes in Lambton and Oxford counties have reportedly worsened, according to those region’s respective health units.
