Hope in beating virus but battle rages says MOH on Sunday

Ontario’s Medical Officer of Health says Sunday that the number of community transmissions of COVID-19 is indeed falling slowly but people must continue to maintain social-distancing and their new at-home lifestyle for a while longer. The Ministry reported 434 new cases of COVID-19 on this sunny morning as thousands tuned in to church services. It is a heartening figure, below the average of 448 cases daily reported since Saturday, March 25. That includes the 511 seen Saturday (yesterday). “While it’s coming down slowly, it’s having ups and downs and we’d like to see it progressing even quicker,” MOH David Williams said. “That means everyone needs to adhere to physical distancing as we’re not yet disrupting community transmission adequately at this time. So we want to stick to the task.”
