People in their twenties can get seriously ill from COVID-19, Richardson said, and take the virus home to their parents and grandparents. But in some cases, Richardson said, people are just seeing their friends and not staying far enough apart. Overall, 734 people are known to have had COVID-19 in Hamilton (727 confirmed, seven probable) since the pandemic started in March. Of those, 139 have recovered and 31 have died, which means 219 are known to have COVID-19 right now. Burlington has 140 residents known to have had COVID-19 (125 confirmed, 15 probable), of which 119 people have recovered and seven have died.
