LONDON, ONT -- The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) reporting 25 new COVID-19 cases and zero deaths in the region on Saturday.
Here is where each region in southwestern Ontario will sit in the framework as of Monday:
red-control: Sarnia-Lambton, Windsor-Essex
orange-restrict - Middlesex-London, Elgin-Oxford, Chatham-Kent, Haldimand-Norfolk

The province also moved to allow some reopening in Toronto and Peel Region by lifting the stay-at-home order and moving them into the grey-lockdown zone.
