The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) is reporting 22 new COVID-19 cases and no deaths Wednesday.

The new cases represent a return to double-digit case counts following two days of single-digit counts.

The region now has a total of 12,383 cases and 221 deaths, with 12,059 cases resolved leaving 103 active.

There are now 3,180 cases with a variant of concern, largely the B.1.1.7 variant that originated in the U.K.

There are currently no active COVID-19 outbreaks at seniors' facilities, schools or childcare centres in the region.

The London Health Sciences Centre is currently caring for 16 inpatients with COVID-19, of which seven are in the Intensive Care Unit. Out-of-region transfers accounts for fewer than five patients in acute care and fewer than five in the ICU.

The health unit announced Monday that anyone who received their first vaccine dose before April 18 will be able to start re-booking their second dose on Thursday, regardless of age.
