In Milton, we have four new cases. The total number is 448. We’ve had 404 recoveries and four deaths. That means we have 40 active cases.
Milton’s Regional Councillor for Ward 4, Zeeshan Hamid, had a couple tweets yesterday highlighting the rise in cases across Halton. Here’s what he had to say:
Been a while, let's check Covid-19 numbers.
1/ Covid cases are going up in Halton
2/ so is hospitalization
3/ and unfortunately deaths.
4/ No, it's not all because of more testing. We're finding more positives.#COVID19 pic.twitter.com/CxZtu2GuV8— Councillor Zeeshan Hamid (@zeehamid4) October 21, 2020
