WATERLOO -- An additional 539 COVID-19 tests have been reported in Waterloo Region as the total number of confirmed cases have increased by six.

There has also been one more death and 15 more resolved cases, according to the region’s Saturday numbers.

This brings the totals to 1,105 cases, 114 deaths, 812 resolved, and 18,278 tests administered.

These numbers remain the same on Sunday, as Region of Waterloo Public Health COVID-19 dashboard was not updated.

Testing opened up to the general public two weeks ago at local testing and assessment centres.

The additional COVID-19 death confirmed Saturday is only the second death reported since May 20.
