Molasses slow sliding plateau in virus cases seen Thursday

The Ministry of Health reports 356 new cases of COVID-19, a figure seen by authorities as part of a recent plateau of infection in this range. Wednesday’s number was 338. CP24 quotes virus physician Isaac Bogoch of the University Health Network as saying the pandemic locally is in a slow decline. “Just remember – cases in Ontario used to be 600 to 700 cases each day, now we’re in the 300 to 400 cases each day range. There is very good progress, we’re headed in the right direction. We’ve plateaued, unfortunately, but certainly with issues with contact tracing and testing, but those are being resolved,” he told the Bell Media cable service. Slow as molasses it seems.
