Case counts are an underestimate as the general public doesn\u2019t have access to PCR testing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other key metrics such as wastewater samples with COVID-19 detected and the per cent of tests coming back positive have also stabilized over the last two weeks. However, the seventh wave is predicted by Scarsin Forecasting to \u201cgreatly increase\u201d in the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city reported six more COVID deaths from Aug. 9 to Aug. 23, including a Hamiltonian in their 50s.

No kids age 19 or younger have died in Hamilton during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five of the most recent COVID deaths were seniors age 80 and older. Nearly two-thirds of Hamilton\u2019s pandemic deaths have been among this age group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seniors homes also continue to be hit hard in the seventh wave, accounting for eight of the city\u2019s 22 outbreaks in high-risk settings. Three of the outbreaks in long-term care homes and retirement homes have reported deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The largest ongoing outbreak was at Regina Gardens Long-Term Care Residence, where 69 have been infected and one has died at the west Mountain home since July 28. Another large outbreak was at Extendicare Hamilton, where 54 have tested positive and one has died at the west Mountain long-term care home since July 18. Lastly, there have been 17 cases and one death at the Meadows long-term care home in Ancaster since Aug. 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ongoing outbreaks both in hospitals and seniors\u2019 homes have exacerbated a long-standing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespec.com\/news\/hamilton-region\/2022\/08\/12\/perfusionists-hamilton-health-sciences-cardiac-surgery.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">staffing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespec.com\/news\/hamilton-region\/2019\/07\/23\/hallway-medicine-expensive-frustrating-and-complicated-doug-ford-vowed-to-fix-it.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overcrowding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> crisis that has reached unprecedented levels over the course of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs a result of capacity challenges, surgical and procedural activity remains at 75 per cent of pre-pandemic volumes,\u201d stated HHS. \u201cWait times in our emergency departments remain high.
