The Ministry of Health reports 446 new COVID-19 infections Tuesday as the province continues its difficult slog towards stopping the pandemic. The overnight number is a continuation of the reversal seen over the weekend as new cases began to rise again. The past 24 hours has also seen disheartening news about the failure to control and report infections among migrant farmworkers. As many as 140 cases of infection in laborers housed in communal bunkhouses near Simcoe and St. Catharines were unreported until Sunday. It seems unusually careless. And on Monday it was revealed that hundreds of positive cases in the GTA were not traced for contacts because of incorrect assumptions about who had responsibility for reporting. This is believed to have lead to yet more infections. Huge blunder as GTA virus cases unreported to health units
