CoNtINueD Halton is seemingly in the thick of a second wave of COVID-19, as the number of new cases continues to rise across the municipalities. Data from the Halton Region Public Health shows that for the first week of October, from Oct. 1 to 7, there were 168 new coronavirus cases in the region -- a sharp in- crease from the 100 new cases reported the previ- ous week. According to the re- gion's website, the major- ity of the October infec- tions were found in resi- dents under the age of 40, and they were linked to close contact with anoth- er positive case. The start of the month also saw public health of- ficials declaring new out- breaks in long-term care and retirement homes in Burlington and Oakville. An outbreak at the Vil- lage of Tansley Woods re- tirement facility in Bur- lington left two residents dead, making it the first coronavirus-related death in Halton Region since June. In addition, four staff members also became in- fected with COVID-19. As of Oct. 8, the num- ber of confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases in the region stands 1,422 since the start of the pan- demic, with 1,232 re- solved and 27 fatalities. - With files from Louie Rosella.
