People line up, physically distanced, at a mass vaccination centre during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mississauga, Ont., on May 10, 2021.Ontario should not relax its stay-at-home order until its daily count of COVID-19 cases sinks “well below” 1,000 – about a third of current levels – and stays there, the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health said Monday.
“The medical experts have been very clear that we need to stay the course for right now,” Ms. Elliott told reporters at Queen’s Park, adding that there needs to be a “significant drop” in cases before restrictions are loosened. The province’s daily count of new infections has been declining steadily, down from a third-wave high of 4,812 on April 16. Ontario last had fewer than 1,000 new cases a day in early March. It has not had a sustained week of new infection tallies below that level since October.
Meanwhile, the association representing Ontario’s local public-health agencies sent a letter to Premier Doug Ford last Friday that strongly recommends extending the stay-at-home order and other restrictions beyond May 20. Ryan Mallough, the director of Ontario provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said any lockdown extension should also come with new funding to help business survive. He pointed to Manitoba’s government, which announced Monday a new round of grants up to $5,000 to make up for new restrictions.
Patience is wearing thin on Ontario’s top doctor inconsistent and vague proclamations over the last 14 months. What is “well below 1,000 a day?” 10, 100, 500 cases a day? How about levelling with the people of Ontario.
Covid scam liars will blame Covid for third wave hospitalizations and deaths, but most will because of the injections. Study: Between 60 and 70 percent of “third wave” COVID deaths and hospitalizations will be from people who were fully vaccinated.'
Can we stop calling them Ontario’s top doctors please.
It’s time to bring back the regional controls. Northern Ontario has very few cases in general. Local business are failing while Walmart, Loblaws, shoppers Drug Mart aremaking a fortune.
There goes the summer
When are these so called experts going to realize, we are never going to fully eradicate this virus? They need to straighten out our health care system and start getting life back to some resemblance of normal.
We need to stay locked down for another 5 years MINIMUM

I don't understand why you won't just block off the areas of concern 'Toronto and surrounding area' and leave the rest of us alone? This is what makes one suspicious.fordnation
A four week lockdown was suppose to end the pandemic. Not even close. Any one else think the doctors and the Premier were wrong?

Top doctor can f**k off
You can't restrict human rights
Such an arbitrary number. Cases have been so poorly collected, data cleanup, data dump, over reported, under reported. Stick to hospital numbers
Live look at that doctor
Let the kids play at least. Enough with the absolutism.
