Ontario reports 370 new Covid cases … and the herd immunity goal posts have moved to 3 doses at 95%

Ontario reports 370 new COVID-19 cases, 1 more death

Ontario is reporting fewer than 400 new COVID-19 cases today and one additional virus-related death.

Ontario health officials logged 370 new COVID-19 infections today, down from 373 on Saturday and 443 one week ago.


Herd immunity should now be 95% of residents with 3 doses, says member of Ontario science table

… Manuel said the science table has talked about late spring as a possible transition time, but it will also depend on the number of cases, hospitalization rates, community immunity, and who in the community is vaccinated.

Instead of herd immunity being reached with 85 per cent of residents with two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, he says the science table now believes that mark should be when 95 per cent of residents have three doses.
