TORONTO For hundreds of COVID-19 patients in some of Ontarioâs hardest hit regions, hospitals from other cities have been a saving grace. Without centres like the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, more than 500 coronavirus patients in Ontario may not have received the timely care they needed. These patients are aided by the provinceâs new IMS Transfer, or COVID-19 Incident Management System, which keeps an eye on patient numbers across hospitals and shifts them as necessary. It sends those in need of medical care from hospitals overwhelmed by a surge of coronavirus patients in their own region to hospitals elsewhere that have the space.

An 11-year-old boy has died after being pulled from a Milton pond Saturday afternoon.
Halton Regional Police said they were called at around 2:30 p.m. to a stormwater management pond near Reese Court for a report that a child had fallen through the ice.
Police said two boys had ventured out on to the ice covering the pond, when they suddenly both fell through.
One of the boys was able to get out of the pond after trying to help the other boy and ran to a nearby home for help.
