MIDDLESEX CENTRE, ONT. --
The Middlesex-London Health Unit is reporting 119 new COVID-19 cases Thursday, while Southwestern Public Health (SWPH) is reporting 71 cases, both new daily records.
The previous record in Middlesex-London was 100 cases reported just two days ago. In Oxford and Elgin counties the previous record was 47 cases on Dec. 23.
The new cases in Middlesex-London bring the cumulative total to 3,314, with 2,518 resolved and 102 deaths (none new), leaving 694 active cases.
In Elgin-Oxford, the cumulative total is now at 1,286 cases, with 978 resolved and 13 deaths (one new) leaving 296 active cases.
SWPH says with modelling projecting daily counts near 100 in Jan. 2021, there are concerns that it will be a challenge to reach close contacts within 24 hours.
