Provincial health officials logged 2,448 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, down slightly from the 2,453 reported on Saturday but up from 1,791 last week.
It is the fourth day in a row that the number of new infections jumped above 2,000 in the province.
Ontario easing COVID-19 restrictions is ‘threatening people’s lives’: nurses’ union
A union representing nurses in Ontario says the government’s loosening of restrictions is “threatening people’s lives” and has called for stronger measures to be put in place as the province faces a third wave of COVID-19.
The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) said in a statement Saturday that recent government decisions to loosen some dining restrictions, as well as allow personal care services to open, also threaten the province’s health-care system and in-person learning.
Like teacher’s unions little things such as a roof over your head and enough food to eat never seem to factor in their position on lockdowns.
