Second farm worker confirmed deceased WINDSOR — Windsor Regional Hospital has confirmed the death of a second migrant worker in our region from COVID-19. The 24-year-old passed away at Windsor Regional on Friday, after first attending Erie Shores HealthCare on June 1. This follows the death last Saturday of 31-year-old Bonifacio Romero, an employee at Woodside Greenhouses in Kingsville. Romero passed away after isolating at a local hotel. It is unknown at this time where the 24-year-old was working when he fell ill. Windsor Essex County Health Unit will be ramping up testing in the migrant worker community this week. There are about 8,000 migrant workers in Windsor-Essex. Read this week’s Southpoint Sun for further updates.
