BARRIE, ONT. -- The recent stay-at-home orders are showing signs of curbing COVID-19 infections in Simcoe Muskoka as the health unit reports a decline in weekly cases. Dr. Colin Lee, the region's associate medical officer of health, said the latest shutdown restrictions are slowing transmission. "We may, for the first time, see less cases. We're tracking to have less cases than the last two weeks, but it is still very high." The health unit reports cases dipped about 15 per cent this week over last. Health officials logged 430 cases this week, significantly down from 712 last week and well below the 665 confirmed the week of April 4.
