Glad to see new strategies to deal with the virus like easing restrictions and mask mandates are working to bring this horrible virus under control. Good on the province to adjust their measures and apply a proactive solution in the best interest of all Ontarians WTG Doug and team

Ontario reported 27 additional virus-related deaths on Friday as hospitalizations dropped for a second day in a row.
The Ministry of Health says all of the deaths occurred in the past month and two of those deaths were long-term care home residents.”

Looks like hospitalizations rates have overall stabilized and not as bad as previous waves
“
There are currently 1,591 people hospitalized with the virus in Ontario hospitals, down from 1,626 yesterday and from 1,662 on Wednesday. However, hospitalizations are up compared to a week ago when occupancy was at 1,427.
Forty-five per cent of current hospital patients were admitted for COVID-19- related reasons, while 55 per cent were admitted for other reasons but subsequently tested positive for the virus.”

“To my knowledge this (wave) has not had a significant impact on, you know, surgeries. In the past, at least at a provincial level and in many different hospitals, non-urgent surgeries were cancelled. You're just not seeing that during this wave,” he told CP24 on Friday.
“Of course this wave is having an impact on the health-care system, and this wave isn't over. But compared to prior waves, it's not having the same degree of impact as it did,” he added.”
A great call for the province indeed. Glad they listen to numbers and science to make the best overall call for us all
