On Oct 8th there are 33 in Hospitals including 8 in the ICU.
On Oct 16th there were 47 in Hospitals with 8 in the ICU.
On Nov 14th..there are 60 in the Hospitals and 8 in the ICU
On Nov 25th there are 29 in the Hospital and 2 in the ICU
Locally (Leed Grenville) we have dropped from 17 case in mid Nov to only 7 active cases now..that is in a population of 173,000 or .004 % of pop
Does still make me wonder why this is still the #1 story on the News every day. The numbers are meaninglessly low. There is no threat to public health, there are no 'Hot Spots ' to warn of...nothing.
Why are they continuing with the fear mongering.
