For the second consecutive day, the Middlesex-London Health Unit reported no new deaths on Thursday. The health unit reported 91 lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases, though that figure is an underestimate due to widespread transmission and restrictions on testing.

London Health Sciences Centre, meanwhile, is caring for 63 inpatients with COVID-19, 12 of whom are in adult critical care, continuing a downward trend in hospitalizations.

As noted, LHSC is caring for 63 COVID-19 inpatients, with 12 inpatients in adult critical care. Last Thursday, there were 91 COVID inpatients with 22 in adult critical care.
