It’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says the latest modelling numbers show that the number of COVID-19 cases linked to community spread has likely peaked across the province.
“The rate of growth day-over-day has stabilized with the outbreak of this virus having likely peaked in the community. We are trending towards a best-case scenario instead of a worst-case scenario.”
Premier Doug Ford says this is great news.
“Today we saw new modelling that shows there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. The numbers clearly show that the steps we have taken as a province are working.”
But Elliott says there's still work to be done and the people in Niagara and across the rest of the province need to stay home to make these projections a reality.
The latest numbers predict less than 20,000 cases of COVID-19 in Ontario during the first wave pandemic.
This is a significant decrease compared to the 80,000 cases previously forecasted.
