Dr. Peter Juni, the scientific director of the Ontario government's Science Advisory Table, told CTV News Channel on Wednesday that the B.1.617 variants are "probably about 50 per cent more transmissible than" B.1.1.7, the variant identified in the United Kingdom that sparked Canada's third wave – which itself is significantly more infectious than the strain of SARS-CoV-2 that was originally predominant.Dr.

He said he has asked the province about increasing the vaccine supply to Peel Region in order to stamp out the B.1.617 surge before it spreads far outside the region.

More fear news. How are you all still relevant

Not again,,no!

'Experts say'

You people are so dillusional in the comments here it’s sickening

Well maybe because people in Peel and still having large gatherings and weddings at Temples (or whatever they are called) Yes I have seen over 100 people gathering for a wedding!!!

This doctor has produced dozens of peer-reviewed articles and he has suggestions:

Hey MSM. Just...STOP!!!

Everyone too damn quick again to open everything up before we have had enough people vaccinated! If it’s going to spread really quick it’s going to come from the US, which is acting with careless disregard. Canada needs to keep that border closed for at least till fall.

Hey Ontario people stay in your province. Stop traveling to BC. jjhorgan Limit interprovincial travel please!!!

Of course, to hell with freedom.

It’ll peak just in time to close schools in September! Awesome👎🏻

Covàxin is the only vaccine that can handle all variants

Why ? Who says?

Continue vaccinating and open up Ontario already. We've become a joke around the world with this lockdown

Go collect your subsidy money from your buddy 😳🙈🇨🇦

LOL....quoting Loh and Juni.....still hanging on to their 15 minutes.....they are harder to get rid of then the virus itself

Why? Health experts already reported vaccine works on all strains. Why blow this up and cause more anxiety? Just to get a news story

The one from 🇮🇳

Can we just give it a rest already.

Stop the fear mongering. Is this dominant in the US where things have been open since March? It’s not. You can still live with COVID.

With testing down to 20000/day how would we know? Wait for fordnation to blame the Feds for not checking the passport of viruses that have slipped into every corner of this earth.

I would like to get my second shot ASAP then. 🙏🏻

Are we acting surprised? Do we not know viruses mutate? Why is the msm making this so shocking? Flu virus mutate every time too..

And here we go again. We are going to still be locked down. Don’t bother booking any summer vacations and we are all going to get fined. Bullied and and harassed again

I've been wondering where all those 'doomsday prepper' people went....oh wait

Isn't this the double mutant variant that's been in Canada since early April. It's in the US also and doesn't seem to be causing any concern.

WHO now using Greek alphabet for coronavirus variant namesCoronavirus variants with clunky, alphanumeric names have now been assigned the letters of the Greek alphabet by the WHO in a bid to simplify discussion and pronunciation while avoiding stigma. WHO is now farting out it's mouth. Aww, poor stigmatized virus. Chinese government wouldn’t be doing everything in their power to hide how COVID-19 started if it was an accident. We NEED an investigation into what happened.
