Lambton is averaging about 26 new cases of COVID-19 each day with testing limited to hospitals, long term care and retirement homes and congregate living homes. There is only one outbreak right now at Fairwinds Lodge in Sarnia where 15 residents and less than five staff are ill with the virus.

Since the pandemic began, there have been 10,333 cases of COVID-19 officially diagnosed in Lambton. Officials say 133 people in Lambton lost their lives because of the virus.
