London, Ont. -

Following a day of no new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday for the first time this year, the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) is reporting seven new infections Wednesday.

The region now has a total of 12,813 cases and 231 deaths, with 12,524 resolved cases leaving 58 active. There are now 3,636 cases with a variant of concern, including 129 of the highly contagious Delta variant.

There were no new deaths to report Wednesday with the death toll remaining at 231.

Medical officer of health Dr. Chris Mackie said at a MLHU news briefing that low testing volume over the long weekend was probably the reason for Tuesday's zero result.

Ontario recorded 139 new cases of the virus Wednesday. The province has now reported fewer than 200 new cases daily over the last three days.
