New cases dip to 1,837, Toronto counts 595 in Friday release

The Ministry of Health has reported 1,837 new cases of C-19 infection Friday for the 24-hour period ending at midnight. The number is based on findings from 69,040 tests. It’s an encouraging report and holds hope that rigid lockdown rules are beginning to control the viral pestilence. The province’s rolling seven-day average now stands at 2,010. It had reached 3,273 two weeks ago but has been on the decline since then. Of the new cases, 595 are in Toronto, 295 are in Peel Region, 170 are in York, 59 are in Durham, 54 are in Halton and 53 are in Hamilton.
