We’re at a critical time in the pandemic according to Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. Dr. David Williams says there’s been a rise in daily COVID cases over the last few days and the province is examining whether it’s a blip from the Victoria Day weekend, a trend or due to the new Delta variant.
“The data at the moment is less promising but we want to make sure we look at it early next week to have an idea of what it might be,” cautioned Dr. Williams who was asked about reopening the economy before June 14th. “If all our indicators are in a good position, we were looking for the week of June 14th and we’d like to see if we can improve on that but it really comes down to the numbers.”
