Slight dip in local COVID-19 surveillance numbers

The health unit has issued its first COVID-19 Surveillance Report since last Friday. There was a pause due to the holiday.

The number of virus-related hospitalizations in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville is down by two and sits at 11. Two of those are in ICUs, an increase of one. The death toll since the beginning of the pandemic remains 109.

The number of confirmed high-risk cases for the week sits at 142. We will have an idea of the trend on Friday when the next report is due.

The number of outbreaks is down from 10 to just eight. Seven of those are in congregate care facilities, while one is listed in the “other” category.
