The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reported eight COVID-19 cases on Thursday, though the total cases to date climbed by only seven to 14,519.
Of that total, there are 95 active cases (a decrease of 17), 14,178 recoveries (an increase of 24) and 246 deaths.
The latest death, reported Nov. 2, involved a woman in her 70s and is not associated with a long-term care or retirement home. Based on the MLHU’s data on deaths within the past six weeks, she was unvaccinated.
Of the 95 active cases, 36 involve kids aged 11 or under, a cohort that is not yet eligible for vaccination.
Since Sept. 19, the MLHU says all of the variant of concern cases in the region have been the Delta variant except for one case in which they were unable to generate sequencing. Total counts by the type of variant of concern can be found by visiting the health unit’s summary of COVID-19 cases in Middlesex-London page and clicking on the “Case Status” tab.
