Ontario’s science advisers called for a six-week stay-at-home order and a focused vaccination strategy as they warned Friday that the province’s COVID-19 infections could climb higher than 15,000 cases per day without stronger measures.
The dire predictions came as the government pleaded with other provinces to send in nurses and health workers while its hospital system buckled under surging cases.
“Our progress is both frustrating and frightening,” Dr. Adalsteinn Brown, co-chair of Ontario’s science advisory panel, said in presenting the latest projections.
Ontario reported 4,812 new cases another record on Friday, up from Thursday’s record of 4,736. It also reported 25 more deaths related to the virus.
