The Ministry of Health says that there were 477 new cases confirmed on Thursday as well as 63 more deaths in people who had contracted the virus.
“Based on our framework, based on our robust health and safety guidelines, it is clear that right now there are certain businesses and workplaces that can operate safely,” Premier Doug Ford said last week. "That means they can physically distance their staff and customers, they can put in physical barriers, they can provide contact-free services, or they work outside and are isolated."
The 477 new cases confirmed on Friday translate into a positive rate of about 2.9 per cent on the more than 16,000 tests conducted. That’s up marginally from a positive rate of around 2.6 per cent on about 1,000 thousand fewer tests one day prior but is down from May 6 when there were 412 confirmed cases on just under 13,000 tests.Encouragingly, the number of people taking up hospital beds is also holding relatively steady.
Long-term care homes continue to be on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19, accounting for more than three-quarters of all deaths
