Chatham-Kent Public Health reported 18 new COVID19 cases Tuesday, however the number of active cases fell by 10 to 93.
There were 23 resolved cases.

For the first time since 1960, nobody has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Many of the leading contenders were stars during the Steroid Era of baseball, and that has stained their careers in the voters eyes.
The news doesn’t mean that the 2021 induction ceremony normally held each summer in Cooperstown will be a quiet one. Because the pandemic forced the postponement of the 2020 ceremony, last year’s quartet of selectees will be honoured this July. That group includes players Derek Jeter, Larry Walker. Walker will become the second Canadian in the Hall of Fame after Chatham’s Fergie Jenkins.
In the 2021 BBWAA Hall of Fame voting, no candidate received votes on at least 75 percent of all ballots cast. https://t.co/PCvTfClVMO pic.twitter.com/rp1KVskX80

Coca-Cola with Coffee just launched.
The cans are a mix of Coke and coffee and come in three flavours: Dark blend, caramel, or vanilla.
Each can has 69 milligrams of caffeine, which is just over half of a regular coffee or a Red Bull, but more than double a can of regular Coke.
It’s that time of year again: The San Antonio Zoo is offering its annual Valentine’s Day service where you can pay $5 to have a roach named after your ex.
The roach will be served to a larger zoo animal as a meal.
The zoo said someone looking to make a stronger statement can pay $25 to name a pre-frozen rat for their former lover before it is fed to a snake.
On Valentine’s Day, February 14th, they will be showing the Cry Me A Cockroach! feeding frenzy on their social media pages.
