Dr. Chris Mackie, the medical officer of health with the Middlesex-London Health Unit says Middlesex-London is in the midst of the pandemic wave, with no clear sight of when cases will reach the peak. On Monday, 22 people were admitted to the London Health Sciences Centre for COVID-19 and nine of them are in critical care. Middlesex-London currently has 136 cases and 18 of them have been resolved. In addition, seniors’ facilities continue to be on alert as Strathroy’s Sprucedale Care Centre is the latest of eight facilities within the Health Unit where either a resident or a staff member has tested positive for the virus. There are no details at this time regarding how many people have been infected.
