New data shows COVID-19 pandemic now 'completely out of control' in Ontario, key scientific adviser says
Hospitalizations more than 20% higher than at start of the last province-wide lockdown.
A new briefing note from a panel of science experts advising the Ontario government on COVID-19 shows a province at a tipping point.
Variants that are more deadly are circulating widely, new daily infections have reached the same number at the height of the second wave, and the number of people hospitalized is now more than 20 per cent higher than at the start of the last provincewide lockdown, states an analysis from Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table published on Monday night.
"Right now in Ontario, the pandemic is completely out of control," Dr. Peter Juni, the table's scientific director and a professor of medicine and epidemiology with the University of Toronto, said in an interview prior to the briefing note's publication.
