Ontario’s top doctor is urging residents to “remain vigilant” as some regions see a rise of the XBB.1.5 subvariant of COVID-19.

Ontario’s top doctor is urging residents to “remain vigilant” as some regions see a rise of the “Kraken” subvariant of COVID-19.

“But due to its increased transmissibility, more individuals may get infected as it becomes the main variant in Ontario,” he said. “I continue to strongly recommend that everyone stays up to date with their vaccinations as it remains our best defence against COVID-19 and its variants, especially for those at increased risk of severe infection and for anyone who has not received a booster or been infected in the past six months.”

"If we follow the U.S. trajectory, that means that this will become the dominant version of the virus circulating probably within just a few weeks in Ontario and across the country," he said last week.

He's like a groundhog coming up out of his burrow to see if spring is here yet. Nope, another few months of Omicron.

400k Do as I say.

Had Ford's government not underspent the healthcare budget, had he continued to invest in Healthcare without diverting to private and appeal Bill 124, had Ontarios top Ford lapdog Doc mandated masking, we wouldn't be where we are so he can just shut it.

I don't care to be vigilant. I've had covid several times and it's the mildest virus I've had.

lol sorry, but who are you again?
