Ontario Has Gotten Close To 400 New COVID-19 Cases In The Last 2 Days

Cases are starting to rise again. 😰
Contributor

As summer approaches its end, it seems that Ontario's COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise.

Minister of Health Christine Elliott reported 185 new cases on Tuesday. Monday's total was 190.

Monday and Tuesday's new case totals combined

Elliott notes that 28 of Ontario's public health units reported five or fewer cases on Tuesday, and 18 reported no new cases at all.

"Toronto is reporting 48 cases with 42 in Peel and 37 in Ottawa," she wrote.

A handful of these can be linked to a wedding celebration that took place in multiple regions of Ontario in late August, which has led to 23 new infections.

Meanwhile, Quebec has gotten over 200 new cases per day over the last two days.
