The Windsor Essex County Health Unit announced 312 new cases of COVID-19 in Windsor and Essex County on Wednesday.

NOTE: The Health Unit stresses that due to the recent surge in Omicron cases and changes in eligibility for testing, testing capacity is limited and case, contact, and outbreak management has been modified to focus on high-risk settings. As a result, they say case counts are an underestimate of the true number of individuals with COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex.

New & Total Cases

The Health Unit says 10 cases are close contacts of confirmed cases, 19 cases are community acquired, 3 cases are outbreak related, 2 cases are travel related, and the acquisition sources of 278 cases are still under investigation.

There are 4,066 cases of COVID-19 currently active in Windsor-Essex (decrease of 17 cases since yesterday).
