Ontario reported 1,808 new COVID-19 cases today and 9 new deaths, making this the highest COVID-19 case count in more than six months, with active cases now up about 50 per cent in one week. The Ministry of Health says 625 of Wednesday’s cases involve unvaccinated people, 39 involve partially vaccinated people, 1,046 involve fully vaccinated people and the status of 98 others was not known. The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table now estimates more than 30 per cent of all cases in the province are Omicron with a doubling time of every three days. The head of the Ontario Science Advisory Table said that Omicron will become the dominant variant in the province of Ontario at some point this week, overtaking the delta variant. Dr. Peter Jüni, the head of the Ontario Science Advisory Table said that the 'Omicron variant here is so absolutely infectious now. This will reach every single person. Statistically speaking, there will be very few lucky ones. This is historical. This is unprecedented. People cannot imagine the sheer scale of what we are talking about here. It is really challenging'. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
