Face mask hangs on a Christmas tree during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on December 26, 2021. Ontario reported 10,412 more COVID-19 cases and four new deaths, 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. An estimated 90 per cent of all new infections are suspected to be caused by the rapidly spreading 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.
