kawarthaNOW is providing a daily report of COVID-19 cases in the greater Kawarthas region.
Here’s today summary: there are 53 confirmed positive cases in the Peterborough area, 109 in the City of Kawartha Lakes, 14 in Northumberland County, 6 in Haliburton County, and 27 in Hastings County and Prince Edward County. That’s a total increase of 1 case from yesterday’s report.
There have been 34 deaths, with no increase in deaths from yesterday’s report. Province-wide, there are 8,447 confirmed cases, an increase of 494 from yesterday’s report, and 385 deaths, an increase of 51 from yesterday’s report.
The number of cases under investigation in Ontario has jumped dramatically to 4,429, an increase of 2,322 from yesterday’s report, presumably because of expanding testing announced by the Ontario government earlier this week.
This report is based on data supplied by the province’s integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS). This information is at least 24 hours old, so it is not real-time data.
We publish the daily report, usually by late afternoon, with the most current information released by health units. Note that each health unit reports the information in a different way.
