New COVID-19 cases for April are now at the country’s highest since the second wave’s destructive peak last October.
The country is continuing to record confirmed and suspected COVID-19 deaths this month, and hospitalizations show no sign of abating.
A growing number of agencies as well as schools throughout the country are being forced to temporarily close due to COVID-19 exposures.
Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) has been forced to scale back operations, with physicians and nurses making it clear that despite insistence to the contrary by government, capacity to handle the third wave is limited.
