Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health says the next couple of months will be critical.
Dr. David William says the province is now entering a third wave of the pandemic.
But says case numbers aren’t as high as they were during the second wave.
“Three weeks ago we were around the 1,00 to 11 hundred mark average, then a week ago were at 12 to 13 (hundred) this week were at 13, to 14 or 15 (hundred),” explains Williams.
“Remember in the peak of the second wave we were up at 3,000, we even touched over 4,000!”
Dr. Williams says it’s not certain what kind of impact this wave will have.
“Is it an undulating wave, is it a rapidly rising…breaking wave (to) use an analogy. It is going to look like wave two. We don’t know right now.”
He says his message is simply to continue following public health measures as the variants of concern, which are driving the third wave, are bound to show up anywhere.
