Ontario reports second death due to COVID-19

A local public health unit is reporting Ontario’s second COVID-19-related death.

Halton Region Public Health says a man in his 50s died after receiving treatment at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and Milton District Hospital.

The agency says he had an underlying health condition.

Ontario reported its first COVID-19-related death earlier in the week, a 77-year-old man in the Muskoka region.

Canada now has recorded 10 deaths due to the coronavirus — seven in B.C., two in Ontario and one in Quebec.
