"Imported cases have also been recorded in the United States (21 cases) and Canada (1 case), following travel to endemic countries."

So September is the best month of the 12 available to us.

Still beautiful, but the chill in the air has people making decisions like proper adults knowing winter is around the corner.

Dad tip:

When the leaves begin to change colour....

Measure solids accumulation & clean your effluent filter, test floats, alarms & pump amperage. Keep records.

Finally, we want you to know that the newest Covid-19 vaccine will arrive in Middlesex-London in October.

Below please find a link to our weekly respiratory illness surveillance reports and the data behind them: https://t.co/wRmuUyk6in (link in bio)
