COVID 19 hospitalization numbers in Haldimand Norfolk improve

There are 13 residents in hospital with COVID-19 including two who are in intensive care, public health officials in Haldimand-Norfolk say.

Figures posted Wednesday by the Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit indicate there have been 110 new cases of COVID-19 in the two communities since figures were last updated on April 13. However, the number of new cases is likely higher due to limited testing.

There have been 72 COVID-19 related deaths and 19 non-COVID-19-related deaths in the two communities since the pandemic began.
