Ontario is reporting another 17 deaths related to COVID-19 as hospitalizations continue to fluctuate.
Local pandemic trends are stable or dropping as of Thursday's updates. Three more people with COVID-19 have died in the region.
Following weeks of urging the Ontario government reinstate some COVID-19 measures during a sixth wave, three top doctors have written the province's chief medical officer of health to ask that mandatory masking be reinstated in all indoor settings.
Accumulated immunity in the population, the arrival of warmer weather and the continued use of masks amid Ontario’s sixthCOVID-19 wave appear to be paying off.
Local pandemic trends are generally stable or dropping, but Ottawa Public Health says COVID levels remain high and could rise again if people drop their guard.
