BARRIE, ONT. The Simcoe Muskoka health unit posted triple-digit daily COVID-19 case counts Thursday, one week into the provincial stay-at-home order. The health unit lists 132 infections, eight of which are in the Muskoka area. Most of the individuals are under the age of 45. Health officials have been saying the third wave, driven by the more contagious variant strains, has had a greater impact on the younger population. We re seeing patients that are younger. They are getting sick faster and for longer, and they are ending up in our intensive care unit, said Janice Skot, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre s president and CEO.
