Peterborough Public Health has conducted more than 2,000 tests for coronavirus since testing began and one new case was reported on Tuesday.
The total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 – the disease caused by the virus – is now at 59 for the health unit’s jurisdiction. The health unit serves the City of Peterborough, Peterborough County, Curve Lake First Nation and Hiawatha First Nation. The data is courtesy of the health unit’s daily situation update which was issued at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The health unit also reports four more resolved cases, increasing the total to 36 overall. A resolved case involves two negative tests administered in a 24-hour period.
Of the 2,032 tests the health unit has conducted for COVID-19, there are now 1,613 cases which have tested negative.
The health unit notes there are still an “estimated” 360 test results still pending.
“This is an estimate based on the data reported to Peterborough Public Health,” the report states.
An institutional outbreak remains in effect at St. Joseph’s at Fleming. Outbreaks at Peterborough Regional Health Centre and Riverview Manor long-term care were not listed on Tuesday’s report.
The health unit’s first — and thus far, only — COVID-19-related death was on April 12, after psychologist Dr. George Dimitroff died while at Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
