Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Monday that B.C. is in the second wave of the conronavirus pandemic, as she confirmed 499 new cases of COVID-19 and two more deaths over the weekend.
Many neighbourhoods in the northwest part of Toronto continue to see relatively high per cent positivity and low testing rates for COVID-19, the city’s board of health heard Monday.
Health Minister Christine Elliott said in a tweet that 244 cases were found in Toronto, as well as 168 in Peel, 103 in York Region, and 51 in Ottawa. Those are the places where Halloween should be celebrated differently, the government says.
