Most of the variants identified in Montreal are the U.K. ones, Drouin said, adding that the majority of new variant spread has been within families. Drouin, however, said elementary classes at a private school have been closed following an outbreak suspected of involving the U.K. variant. While the numbers of new, daily cases and outbreaks reported in the city have declined since early January, Drouin said the downward trend has slowed since schools reopened. Over the past week, she said, the number of new cases appears to have stabilized around 500 a day, which she described as a “high plateau.”The number of outbreaks in health-care facilities and workplaces is trending down, Drouin said, but outbreaks at schools and daycares are increasing.
He said people in certain parts of Montreal may be violating health orders or they are being exposed to the virus at work and are bringing it home. It’s also possible, he added, that a more infectious variant is driving some of the transmission.
