Another death in Lambton while the number of sick dips below 100.

April 20, 2021

While the number of people contracting COVID-19 in Lambton continues to fall, the virus is making its mark.

Today, another person passed away of COVID-19 – the 55th person in Lambton.

And there is another outbreak; three students at the Lambton College residence are COVID-19 positive.

In all, there were just five new cases in Lambton today. Eight four people are actively ill. Seven are in hospital and one is on a ventilator.

In Ontario, there was a significant drop in the number of cases reported – 3,469 Tuesday compared to 4,447 Monday. That may be due, in part to a problem with telecommunications giant Rogers, officials said.

Another 22 people died Tuesday.
