WATCH: As Ontario recorded a spike in new COVID-19 cases across the province, with 700 daily infections reported, Premier Doug Ford announced that the province has entered a second wave of the virus, which he said would be “more complicated, more complex” and worse than the first wave earlier in the year.

Guelph reported no new novel coronavirus cases on Monday, but its local health unit says some cases have not been assigned to a municipality.

A spokesperson for public health said there are 10 new cases that they do not have a location for yet. Some or all of them could be assigned to Guelph in the coming days.

Without those 10 cases confirmed, Guelph has 18 active cases including two people being treated in hospital.
