Ontario reports 321 new COVID-19 cases; two deaths
Ontario reported 321 new COVID-19 cases and two additional deaths on Tuesday, as the province’s seven-day rolling average of new cases climbed above 300 for the first time since late June.
Tuesday’s count brought the rolling seven-day average of new cases to 306, up from 283 yesterday.
Doug Ford urged to create a vaccine passport before the fourth wave hits
A sharp rise in Ontario’s COVID-19 cases has business groups turning up the heat on Premier Doug Ford to implement a vaccine passport program.
Concerned a fourth wave this fall could force a return to public health restrictions with more than 4 million Ontarians still unvaccinated — including kids under 12 not yet eligible — passport advocates maintain the best defence is a good offence.
“The last thing anyone wants is to be shut down but that’s what will happen if we don’t use every tool in the tool kit,” Ontario Chamber of Commerce President Rocco Rossi said Monday. “It’s about mitigating risk as much as possible. We’re going to be living with this for a while.”
If you’re fully vaxxed you can still catch and spread covid but with a passport you can spread it legally. Am I doing this right?
