LONDON, ONT. -- As case counts approach record highs in the region, Mayor Ed Holder is questioning why London was left off the province’s list of COVID-19 hotspots. On Tuesday, the provincial government released a list of postal codes with the highest transmission rates that will receive prioritized vaccination, including mobile clinics and vaccine available for people age 18 and over. No postal codes in London were included in the program. The closest postal codes are in Aylmer (N5H) and Kitchener (N2C). “I feel somewhat perplexed why London is not been designated as a hotspot by the province,” Holder stated during Thursday’s media briefing.
