Windsor, Ont. -

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit is reporting 123 hospitalizations and two additional deaths on Monday.

There were 1108 cases reported over Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

WECHU says due to the recent surge in Omicron cases and changes in eligibility for testing, testing capacity is limited and case, contact, and outbreak management has been modified to focus on high-risk settings. As a result, the health unit says case counts are an underestimate of the true number of individuals with COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex and may impact data completeness.

One man in his 60s and one woman in her 70s, both from the community, have died. The death toll related to COVID-19 in the region has reached 510 people.
