COVID-19 cases at 399 as painfully slow progress goes on

Thursday’s overnight total of new COVID-19 infections is 399. The painfully slow process of lowering new cases thus continues with the daily count in recent days ranging between 450 and 370. CP24 (CTV) quotes Toronto General epidemiologist Dr. Isaac Bogoch as saying that data suggests that it’s time to unwind certain emergency measures, as the Ford government plans to do this week. “By and large testing capacity has increased – everyone is aware of physical distancing measures, there’s no excuse to not adhere to them,” Dr. Bogoch is quoted. “Cases are starting to come down so I think it’s the right time.”
