Chatham-Kent has hit another pandemic milestone – 5000 confirmed cases since March, 2020.
Today’s report includes 80 new cases, although officials warn this is an underestimate because of reduced testing. The 7-day rolling average sits at 87.

ICU occupancy sits at 70% today, beds in the PCU are just under 67% filled, and occupancy of the medical, surgical and critical care units sits at just over 90%.
