Ontario Shatters All Previous COVID-19 Records With 9,571 New Cases Today

Cashier at a Walmart store wearing a face mask during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Markham, Ontario, Canada on December 24, 2021. Ontario reported 9,571 new COVID-19 cases and 6 new deaths on Friday, shattering all previous records for infection for the entire length of the pandemic while multiple officials conceded the province's testing system can no longer keep up with and track the spread of infection. Across Ontario, public health units including those in Ottawa and London have issued warnings that timely access to PCR testing is no longer available. The Ministry of Health said that 1,536 of Friday's cases involved unvaccinated people, 356 involved partially vaccinated people, 7,425 involved fully vaccinated people and 254 involved people with unknown vaccination status. An estimated 90 per cent of all new infections are suspected to be caused by the Omicron variant. Large parts of Canada are starting to implement new restrictions as a fifth wave of COVID-19 fuelled by the Omicron variant saw thousands of new cases across the country over the past few days.
