Ont. reports 192 new COVID-19 cases as seven-day average slowly rises
Ontario is reporting just under 200 new cases of COVID-19 today as the province continues to see a slight uptick in the rolling seven-day average.
Provincial health officials are reporting 192 new COVID-19 cases today, up from 185 on Thursday and 135 on Wednesday.
‘Vaccine certificates’ called essential to keeping economy open
While it’s still unclear if the Ontario government will even consider implementing a similar “vaccine certificate,” experts, academics and members of the province’s science-based COVID-19 policy advisory group say this kind of measure is not only necessary — it is essential. That is, they say, if we want to go into a store, our workplaces, see a Jays game, get a haircut, make money — get back to being normal.
“We have to acknowledge the inevitability of these certificates if we want to keep the economy open,” said Peter Juni, scientific director of the Science Advisory Table, which released a brief Wednesday on the merits of vaccine certificates.
