LHSC says five or fewer of its COVID-19 inpatients are in Children’s Hospital, while zero are in pediatric critical care.
Of the 23 inpatients with COVID-19, 13 are being treated for COVID-19 while 10 are being treated for something other than COVID-19 but were found to have an incidental infection.
At least 167 staff cases are currently active at LHSC, unchanged from Thursday but up from 155 on Wednesday.
At St. Joseph’s Health Care London, officials reported 64 cases among health-care workers and two cases among patients or residents, both of Parkwood Institute Main Building. That compares to 55 health-care worker cases and one patient/resident case on Thursday.
On Friday, the MLHU reported one death and 86 new lab-confirmed cases.
The death involved a woman in her 60s not associated with a long-term care or retirement home. So far in March, there have been eight COVID-19-related deaths in the region.
